Although there are no historical records to back up this claim, there are still some interesting facts about the community. Rockaway was called Irish Saratoga in the 1850s and was ninety percent white after World War II. However, this shift would happen in many areas along the southern periphery of New York City. Despite being a relatively densely populated area, the Rockaway peninsula offered relatively little available land. Its development was fueled by the fact that the Rockaway Peninsula was relatively undeveloped in comparison to the rest of Queens. During this period, half of Queens' public housing was built, originally intended for returning veterans but then became a refuge for the displaced of the slum clearance program.
