Kissena Creek : ウィキペディア英語版 | Kissena Creek Kissena Creek, also known historically as Mill Creek, is a buried stream located in the neighborhood of Flushing in the New York City borough of Queens. Most of it flows beneath Kissena Park, Kissena Corridor Park, Queens Botanical Garden, and Flushing Meadows-Corona Park, where it merges with Flushing Creek. It originated in Hillcrest.〔(Kissena Creek )〕 ==Headwaters==
The headwaters of Kissena Creek were in a marsh located in the present-day neighborhood of Kew Gardens Hills.〔1891 Julius Bien Atlas〕 In the late 19th century, it served as a source for peat, a fossil fuel related to coal that forms from decayed plant matter. As Kew Gardens Hills gradually developed, the swamp shrunk in size with the street grid resting on top of it. The last holdout was a 23-acre parcel where the Opal Apartments and Lander College for Men now stand.
