Established on November 1, 1683 when counties were established in New York, it was named for the queen consort, Catherine of Braganza, wife of Charles II. As of 2000, the population is 2,229,379. Its county seat is the district of Jamaica, a neighborhood of New York City. The United States Postal Service divides the borough into four "towns": Long Island City, Jamaica, Flushing, and Far Rockaway; mail addressed to a residence or business in Queens includes the name of the applicable neighborhood (such as Ozone Park) on the next line below the street address — rather than "Queens, New York" — followed by the ZIP Code.
