The area now known as Astoria was originally called Hallet's Cove, after its first landowner William Hallet, who settled
there in 1659 with his wife Elizabeth Fones. Beginning in the early 19th century, affluent New Yorkers constructed large
residences around 12th and 14th streets, an area that later became known as Astoria Village (now Old Astoria). Hallet's Cove,
founded in 1839 by fur merchant Steven Halsey, was a noted recreational destination and resort for Manhattan's wealthy.
The area was renamed after John Jacob Astor, then the wealthiest man in America, with a net worth of over $40 million,
in order to persuade him to invest just $2,000 in the neighborhood. He only invested $500, but the name stayed nonetheless,
as a bitter battle over naming the village was finally won by Astor's supporters and friends.
There is some debate as to what constitutes the geographic boundaries of Astoria. The neighborhood was part of Long Island City
(LIC) prior to the latter's incorporation into the City of New York in 1898, and much of it is still classified as LIC by the USPS.
The area south of Astoria was called Ravenswood, and traditionally, Broadway was considered the border between the two.
Today, however, many residents and businesses south of Broadway identify themselves as Astorians for convenience or status,
since Long Island City has historically been considered an industrial area, and Ravenswood is now mostly a low-income
neighborhood south of broadway.
Some of the thoroughfares have lent their names to unofficial terms for the areas they serve. For instance, the eastern
end of Astoria, with Steinway Street as its main thoroughfare, is sometimes referred to simply as "Steinway", and the
northern end around Ditmars Boulevard is sometimes referred to as "Ditmars".
Banners displayed on lamp posts along 30th Avenue refer to it as "the Heart of Astoria".
