Astoria was first settled by the Dutch and Germans in the 17th century. Many Irish settled in the area
during the waves of Irish immigration into New York City during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Italians
were the next. The neighborhood has often been featured in television and film, either as Astoria or as a
setting for another location in New York City.
The area now known as Astoria was originally called Hallet's Cove, after its first landowner William Hallet,
who settled there in 1659.

During the second half of the 19th century, economic and commercial growth brought increased immigration from
German settlers, mostly furniture, cabinet and piano makers. One such settler was Heinrich Engelhard Steinweg,
patriarch of the Steinway family who founded the piano company in 1853, which today is recognised worldwide.
They built a sawmill and foundry, as well as a streetcar line to accomodate the employees and their families.
Eventually the Village was established, a company town that provided school instruction in German as well as English.
