About Reformed Church of Newtown

Religion, Churches, Interesting Places, Other Churches

The Reformed Church of Newtown is a historic Reformed church located in the Elmhurst neighborhood of Queens, New York. The church was first established by Dutch immigrants in 1731. The neighborhood had been established in 1652 by the Dutch as Middenburgh, a village suburb of New Amsterdam (i.e., New York City). After the English took over the Dutch colony of New Netherland in 1664, the village was renamed New Town, later simplified to Newtown. When Newtown was renamed Elmhurst in the late 1890s, the church retained its original name, a name still also carried by the local high school and subway station.
