Legacy[edit]

Garden City inspired the names of several nearby municipalities (as stated above), and is the namesake of Garden Village, Kentucky.[66]

The film (1957), starring James Stewart, features Charles Lindbergh's historical flight to Paris from Roosevelt Field in Garden City in 1927. Its first few scenes occur at the Garden City Hotel, where Lindbergh had a room reserved (but did not use, contrary to the film's portrayal), and the press corps stayed who were covering the event spent the night prior to his flight;[94] Lindbergh was up all night working on his plane the night before the flight,[95] although he did have dinner and take a nap at the Garden City home of his friend, Gregory J. Brandewiede, at 105 Third Street. The opening shot of the film's first scene shows the hotel's front exterior and sign. Subsequent scenes take place[94] and were filmed at[96][97] Roosevelt Field.
