City New York City Whitestone is an upper middle-class residentiary neighborhood in the northernmost part of the New York City borough of Queens.
Whitestone contains the subsection of Malba, which is bounded to the north by the East River, to the east by the Whitestone Expressway, to the south by 14th Avenue, and to the west by 138th Street.
For a reconstructionof time Whitestone was called Clintonville after Dewitt Clinton, the former governor of New York; this etymology is present in the name of Cliftonville Street, positioned in the neighborhood. In the late 19th century, many wealthy New Yorkers began building mansions in the area, on what had once been farmland or woodland.
Although this rail service ended amid the Great Depression, part of the right-of-way was later used by Robert Moses to help construct the Belt Parkway, which includes the Whitestone Expressway which runs along the southeast edge of the former Flushing Airport and through Whitestone.
The end of the Whitestone line was at "Whitestone Landing" (154th Street), a prominent summer resort region during the late-19th century and early-20th century.
The Bronx Whitestone Bridge gives access to and from the Bronx, as Whitestone is positioned athwart the East River from the Bronx.
New York City Bus and MTA Bus Company serve Whitestone on the Q15, Q15 - A, Q16, Q20 - A, Q20 - B, Q25, Q34, Q44 SBS, Q50, Q76, QM2, QM20 routes; these buses furnish access to and from Flushing Main Street on the IRT Flushing Line (7 <7> trains) of the New York City Subway.
Stations consisted of Flushing Bridge Street, College Point, Malba, Whitestone 14th Avenue, and Whitestone Landing at 155th Street, which later became the Beechhurst Yacht Club.
Flushing Bridge Street Station was assembled in 1870, College Point, and Whitestone 14th Avenue stations were opened in 1869, and Whitestone Landing Station was assembled in 1886, all by the F&NS Railroad.
