Richmond Hill, Queens
Richmond Hill is a neighborhood in eastern-central Queens (in New York City). The area first became developed in 1918, when the Jamaica Avenue elevated train line (today the J/Z lines of the New York City Subway) was extended in the neighborhood. Today, Richmond Hill is home to the largest Sikh population outside of India, as well as to large numbers of Guyanese and othe South American Immigrants. The area is well known for its large-frame single family house, many of which have been preserved since the turn of the twentieth-century.
