65 St

Woodside, Queens

65th Street was called Rowan Street until the 1920s.

In this part of Woodside the street was Rowan Street until Queens streets got a comprehensive numbering system in the 1920s; before that it was possibly 12th Street. Signs at the station's northeast exit and on the Manhattan-bound platform still show the old name Rowan Street.
