纽约市 > 皇后区（简介）
皇后区（英语：Queens），又译作昆斯区，是美国纽约市的五个行政区之一，也是其中面积最大、人口第二多的行政区。其范围和纽约州皇后县或昆斯县（英语：Queens County）相同。区名的“皇后”指英格兰国王查理二世的王后布拉干萨的凯瑟琳。皇后区位于长岛的西半部。纽约市主要的三个机场中，两个就坐落于皇后区，分别是肯尼迪国际机场和拉瓜地亚机场。这些机场在世界上是数一数二的忙碌，让皇后区的上空成为全国最拥塞的空域。皇后区的法拉盛草原可乐娜公园是1939年世界博览会和1964年世界博览会的举办场地，公园内有大地球仪、美国网球公开赛的主场馆美国网球协会比莉·珍·金网球中心和纽约大都会棒球队的主场花旗球场。
皇后区是美国纽约州纽约市五个行政区中面积最大的一个，与皇后区面积相同。皇后区位于长岛西端附近，与布鲁克林区接壤，东面与拿骚县接壤，与曼哈顿区、布朗克斯区、史坦顿岛区以及新泽西州接壤。皇后区是世界上语言和种族最多元化的地方。
2020 年人口普查数据显示，皇后区人口为 2,405,464，是纽约州人口第二多的县，仅次于金斯县（布鲁克林），因此也是纽约市五个行政区中人口第二多的行政区。如果皇后区是一个独立的城市，它将是美国人口第四多的城市，仅次于纽约市的其他地区、洛杉矶和芝加哥。皇后区是纽约市人口密度第四大的行政区，也是美国人口密度第四大的县。由于约 47% 的居民是外国出生的，皇后区非常多元化。
皇后区成立于 1683 年，是纽约省最初的 12 个县之一。该定居点以英国女王和葡萄牙皇家公主布拉干萨的凯瑟琳 (1638-1705) 的名字命名。从 1683 年到 1899 年，皇后区包括现在的拿骚县。1898 年纽约市合并期间，皇后区成为一个行政区，合并了长岛市、纽敦、法拉盛、牙买加和西汉普斯特德等城镇。 如今，除汉普斯特德外，所有地区都被视为皇后区的街区。
皇后区是纽约市五个行政区中经济最多元化的地区。纽约两座机场都位于此地：约翰·肯尼迪机场和拉瓜迪亚机场。其地标建筑包括法拉盛草原可乐娜公园、纽约大都会棒球队主场花旗球场、美国网球公开赛举办地美国网球协会比利·简·金国家网球中心、考夫曼阿斯托利亚工作室、Silvercup 工作室和 Aqueduct 赛马场。法拉盛在中国跨国实体的投资下正在经历快速的中产阶级化，而长岛市则因与曼哈顿隔东河相望而正在经历中产阶级化。
Queens is the largest by area of the five boroughs of New York City, coextensive with Queens County, in the U.S. state of New York. Located near the western end of Long Island, it is bordered by the borough of Brooklyn and by Nassau County to its east, and shares maritime borders with the boroughs of Manhattan, the Bronx, and Staten Island, as well as with New Jersey. Queens is the most linguistically and ethnically diverse place in the world.
With a population of 2,405,464 as of the 2020 census,Queens is the second-most populous county in New York state, behind Kings County (Brooklyn), and is therefore also the second-most populous of the five New York City boroughs. If Queens were its own city, it would be the fourth most-populous in the U.S. after the rest of New York City, Los Angeles, and Chicago. Queens is the fourth-most densely populated borough in New York City and the fourth-most densely populated U.S. county. As approximately 47% of its residents are foreign-born, Queens is highly diverse.
Queens was established in 1683 as one of the original 12 counties of the Province of New York. The settlement was named after the English Queen and Portuguese royal princess Catherine of Braganza (1638–1705). From 1683 to 1899, the County of Queens included what is now Nassau County. Queens became a borough during the consolidation of New York City in 1898, combining the towns of Long Island City, Newtown, Flushing, Jamaica, and western Hempstead. All except Hempstead are today considered neighborhoods of Queens.
Queens has the most diversified economy of the five boroughs of New York City.It is home to both of New York City's airports: John F. Kennedy and LaGuardia. Among its landmarks are Flushing Meadows–Corona Park; Citi Field, home to the New York Mets baseball team; the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center, site of the U.S. Open tennis tournament; Kaufman Astoria Studios; Silvercup Studios; and the Aqueduct Racetrack. Flushing is undergoing rapid gentrification with investment by Chinese transnational entities, while Long Island City is undergoing gentrification secondary to its proximity across the East River from Manhattan.
