Flushing is located in the north-central portion of the New York City borough of Queens, the fourth-largest central business district in the city. Downtown Flushing is considered a major area of retail and commerce, and the intersection of Main Street and Roosevelt Avenue has been named the third busiest in New York City, behind Times Square and Herald Square. Originally inhabited by the Matinecoc Native Americans, Flushing was initially named "Vlissingen" after a Dutch city of the same name and was founded as a settlement of New Netherland in 1645. When the British took control of the area in 1664, Queens County was established and in 1683, the settlement was rechristened the "Town of Flushing." The town grew, and in the 19th century, as New York City expanded both its population and economic capacity, so did Flushing, buoyed by its close proximity to Manhattan.
