Creedmoor Rifle Range, Recreational shooting facility in Queens Village, New York.
The Creedmoor Rifle Range spans 70 acres of flat terrain with a north-south layout that prevents sunlight interference during shooting sessions.
The Central Railroad sold this land, previously owned by the Creed family since colonial times, to the National Rifle Association in 1872.
The range established international shooting competitions, hosting the first match between American and Irish teams in 1874 with 5,000 spectators.
The facility included shooting positions at 800, 900, and 1,000 yards, making it suitable for long-distance rifle practice and competitions.
The site transformed from a shooting range to the Creedmoor Psychiatric Center in 1912, marking a complete change in land use.
