Frederick J. Lancaster

Frederick J. Lancaster was a land developer who in 1892, with a group of investors, founded the community of Edgemere, on the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens County. Lancaster originally called Edgemere "New Venice"; the community, along with nearly all of the peninsula, was incorporated into New York City in 1898.

Lancaster also later developed the community of Belle Harbor, further west along the peninsula.
