Etymology edit
From queen's + -bury. In particular, the New York town is named for the British queen consort Charlotte. The New Brunswick parish is named for the Queen's Rangers, a Loyalist unit during the American Revolution similarly named for Queen Charlotte. The West Yorkshire village derives from earlier Queenshead, both named in honor of a local pub. Cf. Kingsbury.
