FLUSHING

This article appears in Volume V10, Page 578 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FLA-FRA
FLUSHING , formerly a township and a
village
  of Queens county, New
York
 , U.S.A., on
Long
 
Island
 , at the head of Flushing Bay, since the 1st of January 1898 a part of the borough of Queens, New
York
  City. Flushing is served by the
Long
 
Island
  railroad and by electric lines. It was settled in 1644 by a company of English non-conformists who had probably been residents of Flushing in Holland, from which the new place took its name. Subsequently a large number of
Quakers
  settled here, and in 1672 George Fox spent some time in the township. Before the War of Independence Flushing was the country-seat of many rich New Yorkers and colonial officials.
