Briarwood is named for the Briarwood Land Company, headed by Herbert A. O'Brien, who started around 1905 developing the heavily wooded area that gave the neighborhood its name; O'Brien's efforts ended in bankruptcy and development in the area finally started in the 1920s. Today, Briarwood contains a diverse community of Asian-American, White American, Hispanic/Latino, and African American and Afro-Caribbean residents. It is part of Queens Community Board 8.
