* (Corona, Queens): One theory is that it was renamed by music producer Benjamin W. Hitchcock, a developer who renamed the area in 1872 and sold off land for residential development. Another theory is that real estate developer Thomas Waite Howard, who became the first postmaster in 1872, petitioned to have the post office name changed to Corona in 1870, suggesting that it was the “crown of Queens County”. A third theory is that it is derived from the crown used as an emblem by the Crown Building Company, which is said to have developed the area.
