Utopia Parkway (Queens)

Utopia Parkway is a major street in the New York City borough of Queens.

Starting in the neighborhood of Beechhurst and ending in the Jamaica Estates neighborhood, the street connects Cross Island Parkway and Northern Boulevard in the north to Union Turnpike, Grand Central Parkway and Hillside Avenue in the south.

Simon Freeman, Samuel Resler, and Joseph Fried incorporated the Utopia Land Company in 1903.

[3][4] The Utopia Land Company intended to build a cooperative community for Jewish families interested in moving away from the Lower East Side of Manhattan.

They intended to name the streets after those on the Lower East Side, where there was already a large Jewish population.
