DUTCH KILLS, NEW YORK

'Dutch Kills' is a sub-division of the larger neighborhood of Long Island City in the New York City Borough of Queens. It was a hamlet that occupied what today is centrally Queensborough Plaza. Dutch Kills was an important road hub during the American Revolution, and the site of a British Army garrison from 1776 to 1783. The area supported farms during the 19th Century, and finally consolidated with Hunters Point, Ravenswood, Astoria, and Steinway to form Long Island City in 1870. The neighborhood is currently undergoing a massive rezoning of mixed residential and commercial properties.
