<h1 style="text-align: center;">Queens, <em>New York City</em></h1>
<p>Queens is the largest of New York City&rsquo;s five boroughs. With a population of well over two million people, the area is sandwiched between Nassau, New York and its fellow borough of Brooklyn. &nbsp;Forty-eight percent of all Queens&rsquo;s inhabitants were born in other countries with large populations of people from China, Mexico, and Ecuador. As such, statisticians suggest that it is likely that the population of the territory is underestimated due to undocumented immigrants.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Queens County was founded in 1683 along with Albany, Kings, and Orange County. The borough gets its name from Princess Catherine, a Portuguese queen who reigned over several European countries as she married King Charles the II of England in 1662. The territory was adopted as a New York borough in 1889.</p>
<p>Because of its diverse population, infrastructure, business services, Queens has the second largest economy of all of New York&rsquo;s boroughs, next to Manhattan. &nbsp;JFK International Airport and LaGuardia Airport attract different types of people from all over the world. Due to the millions of travelers who enter the city through these ports, the airspace above the city is among the most crowed in the U.S. This, combined with a significant amount of its inhabitants occupying the health care, construction, and industrial sectors make for a relatively strong economy within the borough.&nbsp;</p>
<p>In addition to its rich history and sturdy economy, some of America&rsquo;s most famous people are from Queens. This includes actress Susan Sarandon, musician Tony Bennett, and radio personality Howard Stern. Even presidential hopeful Donald Trump is from Jamaica Estates, a rather wealthy area in Queens.</p>
