He’s ready to make history.
Author and educator Jason Antos was this week named the new Queens Borough Historian — and at age 44, he’s the youngest ever. Probably.
Unfortunately, one of the few historical records he doesn’t have is the exact ages of his predecessors, so he can’t be sure if he’s set the record — but the lifelong Whitestone resident is still ready to delve into the borough’s past as deeply as he can as he takes over a post that he calls a “dream come true.” 6
“I’m very honored that I was chosen,” Antos told The Post Thursday.
“Even though everyone has a background from someplace else, [we have] a shared history. We all share the history of Queens, and that’s something that we all should take part in and research, and enjoy. Queens’ history belongs to everyone.”
