Since inception it has been contested at various distances: * 1 mile, 70 yards : 1902–1903 * 1 mile : 1904–1939, 1959–1963 * 1+1⁄16 miles : 1940–1958, 1993 * 1+1⁄8 miles: 1964–1971, 2012 – present * 1+3⁄16 miles : 1972–1992, 1994–2011 The Queens County is, like many races at Aqueduct, named for a New York City borough. Queens is the borough that includes the Aqueduct race track. It is also the largest of New York City's five boroughs. There was no race run in 1909, and from 1911 through 1913. The race, once a graded stakes, has lost that status. (en)
