Kew Gardens Hills is a middle class neighborhood in the middle of the New York City borough of Queens. ==Geography== Kew Gardens Hills is situated in the southwestern corner of the area historically known as the Town of Flushing, in its 6th district. As neighborhoods in the City of New York are not designated by the city,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYC Department of City Planning )〕 there are multiple means to determine the geographical boundaries of the area: *General borders: The western boundary of the neighborhood is considered to be Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, which is separated from the neighborhood by the Van Wyck Expressway. The southern playground of the park however is east of the Van Wyck Expressway, and is only accessible via an entrance along Park Drive East. Though part of the park, the playground is considered within Kew Gardens Hills. Prior to the building of the Van Wyck Expressway, the IND World's Fair Line ran along this route during the 1939 New York World's Fair.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=1939 Subway Map )〕 *Postal boundaries: Since 2003, when the United States Postal Services renamed the post office in ZIP code 11367 to the "Kew Gardens Hills Post Office", the borders of the area for ZIP Code purposes extend from the south at Union Turnpike, to the north at the Horace Harding Expressway and east to Parsons Boulevard.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=United State Postal Service )〕 Prior to 2003 this Post office was called the Station C Post Office.〔 Although the post office is named "Kew Gardens Hills", the USPS still designates the city or town for purposes of addressing as "Flushing".〔 *Other designations: Some areas, east of Parsons Boulevard and west of 164th Street, as well as south of Union Turnpike and north of the Grand Central Parkway are included in Kew Gardens Hills, by the NYC Department of Education,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NYC DOE Neighborhood Search )〕 historians,〔("Kew Gardens Hills, Queens" ), Forgotten NY. Kevin J. Walsh. Retrieved 2014-11-06.〕 the Kew Gardens Hills Eruv Committee, by residents or businesses themselves,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kew Motor Inn )〕 or by real estate brokers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Kew Gardens Hills )〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hotels Near Pomonok )〕In these extended areas—with the exception of some zig-zag borders—residents north of 73rd Avenue use ZIP 11365, south of 73rd Avenue, ZIP 11366, and south of Union Turnpike, ZIPs 11432 and 11435.〔 These areas include the Pomonok, Electchester, and Parkway Village developments, among others. Despite the ZIP codes with the first three digits as "114" being originally designated in the postal city of "Jamaica", these areas of Kew Gardens Hills are within the geographical limits of the original Town of Flushing.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Beers 1873 Map )〕 The present 164th Street runs along the original border between the 4th and 6th districts of the town of Flushing.〔 Adjacent neighborhoods include Forest Hills to the west, Hillcrest to the east, Briarwood to the south, and Queensboro Hill to the north. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Kew Gardens Hills, Queens」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
