You made a verbal mistake at the 2:37 mark, it wasn’t William Hallett who was the fur trader, it was Stephen Halsey. Astoria in fact should have been named after William Hallett, as he owned all of Astoria at one time. His family’s decedents are still around today.
Which fun fact was the most exciting for you to learn?
hiiiii I lived in Astoria in fact on 19th street in front of the park right under hells gate.
Hi, wow that's an excellent area! You were lucky to be so close to Astoria Park!
Hell Gate (not Hells)

Really interesting video especially the facts on Hell's Gate bridge. Nice work.
Thank you! Those facts about Hell's Gate bridge surprised me too!
Wow! I learned so much about Astoria!
I’m glad!! Same here, my research took me a while cause there’s so much stuff happening in this neighborhood 😃

Omg I remember going to the Museum of Moving Images in high school ! Really cool inside. Very informative video! 😁
It's one of my favorite museums! I'm glad you found the video to be informative :)
