In the 19th century Bayside was still mostly farmland. Middle 20th century urban sprawl in New York City, with the help of 2 Location and boundaries more convenient and accessible transportation, led to its development. During the 1920s, many actors and actresses, such as Rudolph Valentino, lived in Bayside. At the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century Bayside saw an influx of people associated with the theater and movie industries. The town was then established as a colony for stage and screen stars. When rumors ran rampant through the acting community that Bayside would be the location of a new movie and production studio, many ac- tors, of both sexes, purchased homes in anticipation of an easy commute to the studio. However, this rumored studio never materialized. When Hollywood emerged as the capital of the movie industry during the 1920s, many actors left Bayside to pursue careers in California.[6] Bayside was the site of a murder by Peter Hains, a promi- nent army officer, abetted by his brother, sea novelist Throgs Neck Bridge between the Bronx and Queens Thornton Jenkins Hains, who gunned down prominent editor William Annis at his yacht club in 1908.
