	Official History Page of the Queens Borough President's Office, New YorkCity Local Government
		Queens - with its 118 square miles of land area - became one of the five boroughs incorporated in the City of New York on January 1, 1898.
		Meanwhile, the people of Queens would become increasingly exposed to citywide, metropolitan, regional, national, and international events and population movements, all of which would tend to mute the intensity of inherited forms of localism while adding to the diversity and sophistication of the people.
		This fundamental pattern reflected deep-seated regional economic trends and was sufficient confirmation that Queens, as throughout its three-and-one-half centuries of recorded existence, was still as anchored in the American experience as it was in developments conducive to localism.
