A plaque in Woodside, Queens claims to mark the geographic center of NYC. But geographers say it's not. So who put it there? And why?

The article from Gothamist discusses a plaque in Queens, New York, which claims to mark the geographic center of New York City. Installed in 1966 by the Queens Chamber of Commerce, the plaque's location in a nondescript parking lot near the intersection of 56th Street and 46th Avenue has sparked debate over its accuracy. Despite its claim, experts like Dr. Stephen Morse from Columbia University argue that the true center of NYC, based on various calculations, should be somewhere in Flushing Meadows Corona Park. The plaque's placement might have been influenced by local pride or a desire to boost the area's profile. Over the years, this has led to a mix of local lore, skepticism, and a bit of humor, with some residents and visitors questioning its legitimacy while others embrace it as a quirky piece of local history. The article also touches on the broader concept of how city centers are determined, often involving complex geographic calculations that can yield different results based on the method used.
