LONG ISLAND CITY 21 February 1861 

Continued growth & suburbanization during the 1870's added a few more
postoffices to present-day Queens County.

New for the 1870's:

Creedmore: 11/20/1878 to 8/15/1910; closed, mail from Jamaica
Glendale Station: 10/19/1874 to 9/30/1904; then under Flushing

				  5/31/1899 under Jamaica

List for 1869:
Town of Newtown: Astoria, Maspeth, Newtown, Ravenswood, Woodside
Town of Flushing: Bay Side, College Point, Flushing, Little Neck, Whitestone
Town of Jamaica: Clarenceville, Jamaica, Queens, Springfield Store, Woodhaven

Correct List for 1869:
Town of Newtown: Astoria, Long Island City, Maspeth, Newtown, Ravenswood,
			Woodside
Town of Flushing: Bay Side, College Point, Flushing, Little Neck, Whitestone
Town of Jamaica: Clarenceville, Jamaica, Queens, Springfield Store, Woodhaven

This list DOES NOT include any postoffices in present-day Queens County
located on the Rockaway Peninsula. That area was within the Town of
Hempstead until 1898. See the Nassau County lists, under Hempstead for
those postoffices on part of the Rockaway Peninsula annexed to New York
City in 1898. A large part of the historic Rockaway area remained with the
Town of Hempstead & is now in Nassau County.

This now completes the lists up to 1879 for Suffolk County & current Queens
and Nassau Counties.
