Sources of Information
- A brief history of the First Presbyterian Church of Newtown, Long Island, 1902?:p. 11 ("Middleburg, in allegiance to Charles II., showed its loyalty by discarding the name by which the township had been designated since its settlement, and took the name of Hastings ... the territory then brought within the town of Hastings was called New Towne, or, as we now know it, Newtown. Why the name should have been changed to Elmhurst in the last days of its existence as a separate and distinct village, it is hard to say.")

- Wikipedia, viewed January 24, 2012:Elmhurst, Queens ("The village was established in 1652 by the Dutch as Middenburgh (Middleburgh). ... When the British took over New Netherland in 1664, they renamed Middleburgh as New Town. ... Newtown was established as the Town Seat for the Township of the same name when it was established in 1683. The village was renamed Elmhurst in 1896 to identify the area with a new housing development, to avoid association with the larger Township and the Creek, and again to maintain the Dutch heritage. "Hurst" means "grove" or "woods" in Dutch.")
