Ozone Park

Neighborhood · Queens

Ozone Park covers the southern half of the neighborhood of that name, from Liberty and 103rd Avenues south to North Conduit Avenue, between the Brooklyn border and Aqueduct Racetrack.

  • 0.90 square miles
  • 23,518 residents, 2020 Census
  • 215 street corners

Benjamin W. Hitchcock and Charles C. Denton bought land in 1882 to develop the neighborhood, picking a name to evoke fresh Atlantic breezes, though an older settlement called Centreville had grown up around Centreville Street in the 1840s. After his 1943 Navy discharge, writer Jack Kerouac spent 11 years in his parents' home at 133-01 Cross Bay Boulevard, where he wrote his first novel, The Town and the City.
