Francis Lewis Boulevard is one of the longest north-south streets in Queens. It begins at the Cross Island Parkway Exit 35 in Whitestone and ends at Hook Creek Boulevard in Rosedale, New York. The roadway is named for Francis Lewis, a Queens resident who was a signer of the United States Declaration of Independence. Before being renamed in the 1930s, the roadway (or at least the stretch between Springfield Boulevard and Whitestone) used to be called Cross Island Boulevard. The street was likely renamed after Francis Lewis to avoid confusion with the Cross Island Parkway.
