Queens became a borough in 1898 when the City of New York was consolidated, merging five boroughs: Manhattan, Brooklyn, the Bronx, Staten Island, and Queens itself. Prior to this, Queens was a county and part of Long Island. The consolidation aimed to streamline governance and enhance infrastructure and services in the rapidly growing urban area. As a result, Queens retained its identity while becoming an integral part of New York City.
Queens Borough Hall was created in 1940.
