Pomonok, Queens
Neighborhood in New York City / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Pomonok is a working class neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens. This large public housing development[1] in South Flushing was built in 1949 on the former site of Pomonok Country Club. The name comes from the Algonquian name for Long Island,[2] and means either "land of tribute" or "land where there is travelling by water".[3]
