Named after 75th Street and Elderts Lane, which recalls a local Eldert family.
The station first carried only the lane’s name, then became 75th Street. The lane has been spelled Eldert’s Lane, Elderts Lane and today Eldert Lane, and for a few decades in the early 20th century it was called Enfield Street. Recollections written in 1940, quoted by All Saints Church in Woodhaven, name ‘the Elderts from Elderts Lane’ among families who came every Sunday to the New Lots Dutch Reformed Church.
