Metropolitan Avenue

Metropolitan Avenue is a major east-west street in Queens and northern Brooklyn, New York City.

In 1814, the Williamsburgh Turnpike Company was chartered to upgrade an old Indian trail from Jamaica to the East River into a road, and their work was carried out in 1816.

The road became a farmer's and stage coach route to the Williamsburgh ferries across the East River to Manhattan.
