What was the population in Queens NYC in the 19th century?

In the 19th century, the population of Queens, NYC, grew significantly due to increased Immigration and urban development. By the mid-1800s, the population was around 50,000, largely influenced by the expansion of the Long Island Railroad and the establishment of small towns. By the end of the century, particularly after the consolidation of New York City in 1898, Queens' population had surged to over 200,000. This growth laid the foundation for its diverse and vibrant community that continues today.
