Best Answer

In 1869. There is still a part of Queens County that is called Far Rockaway, the one-time sister to Near Rockaway. Residents of East Rockaway at various times have considered distancing their community from the mostly minority Far Rockaway by renaming their village. The most popular suggestion was "Mill River," but the change was never approved.
