An Intro to Queens' Little Neck and Douglaston Via the USA's Largest Memorial Day Parade

Did you know many descendants of the Matinecock native American tribe reside in Little Neck, Queens? The group occupied Little Neck before the Dutch and English arrived in the Colonial era.

A contingent marched in this year’s Little Neck-Douglaston Memorial Day Parade, pictured above. The parade is the largest in the USA, and celebrated its 88th year this past Memorial Day.

See photos of the parade and read all about the area on Brownstoner Queens.
