The Rockaway Peninsula, also known as The Rockaways, is the name of a peninsula of Long Island, most of which is located within the borough of Queens in New York City. A popular summer resort area since the 1830s, Rockaway — or, as it is informally known, “The Rockaways” — has become a mixture of lower, middle, and upper-class neighborhoods.
Rockaway
Its remoteness from Manhattan has made it a popular retreat, but also has provided an out-of-the-way area to relocate communities destroyed by urban renewal. The neighborhood is part of Queens Community Board 14. As of January 1, 2007, the peninsula’s total population is estimated to be just below 130,000. Rockaway is split between New York’s 9th and 6th Congressional Districts with the 6th encompassing the easternmost portions of the peninsula and the 9th spanning the western end. There are lot of New York travel deals.
