Elmhurst, Residential district in Queens, United States
The neighborhood spans across several blocks with a mix of apartment buildings, small houses, and commercial establishments along its main streets.
English Puritans established this settlement in 1652, initially naming it Middleburgh before changing it to New Town and later Elmhurst.
The population includes residents from 112 different nations, with large Chinese American and Latino American communities shaping the local identity.
The Queens Center Mall and Queens Place Mall provide extensive shopping options, while multiple subway lines connect the area to Manhattan.
Local burial grounds discovered in 2011 near St. Mark's A.M.E. Church reveal the presence of early free African American communities.
