Gosline Elmhurst (formerly Newtown ) is a neighborhood in the borough of Queens in New York City . It is bounded by Roosevelt Avenue on the north; the Long Island Expressway on the south; Junction Boulevard on the east; and the New York Connecting Railroad on the west.[ 4] *The village, originally named Middleburgh , was established in 1652 by English Puritans, approximately 7 miles (11 km) from New Amsterdam . When the British took over New Netherland in 1664, they renamed it New Town, which was eventually simplified to Newtown. It remained a rural community until the late 1890s, when it was renamed Elmhurst and became part of the City of Greater New York . Elmhurst became heavily developed with residential and commercial structures in the early 20th century, and many immigrants started moving in during the latter part of the century.
