With Utopia Park to the east, Colona Park to the west, and direct access to Manhattan via subway line 7, Flushing was founded in the 17th century by Dutch colonizers, and gradually became a gathering place for Asian immigrants in the late 20th century, with Chinese accounting for more than 70% of the population, and is known as "New York's second Chinatown".
