Queens in 1915 was a borough of New York City for less than two decades, having joined Greater New York in 1898. Its western edge along the East River, in places such as Long Island City and Astoria, held factories, piano works, and rail yards, while inland towns like Flushing, Jamaica, and Richmond Hill still had farms, nurseries, and market gardens. The Queensboro Bridge, opened in 1909, had made commuting into Manhattan much easier, and the Long Island Rail Road carried workers and residents out to the eastern towns. Many residents still thought of their communities as separate villages with their own churches, schools, and local newspapers, and the borough's growth in homes and streetcar lines was only beginning to erase those boundaries.
