About the Listing 8013 - 76343

Glendale, Queens was given its name by a developer named George C. Schott. Glendale was originally named FRESH POND for its 2 freshwater ponds. George C. Schott was given a large amount of land as repayment for a debt. He then changed the name to Glendale after his native home in Glendale, Ohio. Glendale borders Brooklyn and Queens I call it the last of the Mohicans a small community that has that 70s vibe where you will find a diverse and eclectic feel yet so close to Brooklyn and Manhattan. It was once a large German farming town, hence the BEST German food in NYC is found in Glendale right on Myrtle Avenue Zum Stammtisch.
