Named after the dated anglicized Dutch city name Flushing(“Vlissingen”) where the wool was made, from Dutch Vlissingen, further etymology is uncertain.
etymonline
Flushing
New York village established 1645 by English Puritans (now a neighborhood in Queens), an English corruption of Dutch Vlissingen, name of Dutch town where the Puritans had taken refuge, literally "flowing" (so called for its location on an estuary of the West Scheldt), and thus perhaps distantly related to flush (v.1).
