John Jacob Astor's brother also emigrated to America. Henry Astor, a horse racing enthusiast, purchased a Thoroughbred named Messenger who had been brought from England in 1788 . The horse became the founding sire of all Standardbred horses in the United states today.

Beyond the famous Waldorf-Astoria Hotel , the Astor family name is imprinted in a great deal of United States history and geography. There is a town of Astor in the states of Florida , Georgia , Iowa , and Kansas and there are Astoria s in Illinois , Missouri , New York , and Oregon . There is an Astor Park in Florida and an Astor Court and Astor Place in New York City and a large number of town and city thoroughfares bearing the family name.

A number of Astor family members are buried in Trinity Church Cemetery in Manhattan, New York .
