Officially the Borough of Queens is one of five boroughs of greater New York City since 1898. The county is coterminous with the Borough of Queens (meaning they have identical borders.)

Description
The County was named for Catherine of Braganza as she was queen of England at the time (she was Portugal's royal princess Catarina daughter of King John IV of Portugal). The County is located in the southwest area of the state.

1664 Yorkshire became the first large government unit (not actually a county) organized by New York after the English took control from the The Netherlands. It was divided into three ridings including West Riding (Staten Island, Brooklyn, and the Elmhurst part of Queens), and North Riding (Westchester, Bronx, New York (Manhattan), Nassau and the rest of Queens counties). 1683 New York extinguished Yorkshire, creating Queens County (including later Nassau County) from part of Yorkshire. 1691 Brother Islands and Rikers Island attached to Queens. 1768 Islands in Long Island Sound attached to Queens. 1881 North Brother Island was lost to New York County. 1884 Rikers Island was lost to New York County. 1898 What became the five boroughs were consolidated into New York City, and her county governments were dissolved. Queens joined New York City as the Borough of Queens.Wikipedia contributors, "Queens" in Wikipedia: the Free Encyclopedia at (accessed 6 January  2012). 1899 Part of Queens was used to create Nassau County. 1964 South Brother Island was lost to the Bronx.

Towns. From 1683 until 1784, Queens County consisted of five towns: Flushing, Hempstead, Jamaica, Newtown, and Oyster Bay. On April 6, 1784, a sixth town, the Town of North Hempstead, was formed through secession by the northern portions of the Town of Hempstead.

The county seat was located first in Jamaica, but the courthouse was torn down by the British during the American Revolution to use the materials to build barracks. After the war, various buildings in Jamaica temporarily served as courthouse and jail until a new building was erected about 1787 (and later completed) in an area near Mineola (now in Nassau County) known then as Clowesville.


 * 1870: Long Island City split from Newtown, becoming a city consisting of Astoria and some unincorporated areas of Newtown.
 * Around 1874: the seat of county government was moved to Long Island City from Mineola.
 * 1885: Lloyd Neck, which was part of the Town of Oyster Bay and was earlier known as Queens Village, seceded from Queens and became part of the Town of Huntington in Suffolk County.
