Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Early History of Hempstead (Long Island) The early history of this town requires that dates be clearly stated, and places be kept distinct. Both have often been confused. Long Island could be approached from many directions. Its possession was coveted by the English, then in New England, on the north and east, and by the Dutch at the west, where the passage was narrow. It had numerous bands of Indians, with whom the whites of both nations for several years traded. Both English and Dutch were actively in pursuit of beaver. The fur trade was profitable. Fishing, also, was an important business; for food was scarce. The English coming in crowds, sought fish more than the Dutch. The long ocean beach afforded facilities for getting wampum, which greatly added to the attractions. There were struggles between English and Dutch about the western part of the island, but none (unless merely on paper), for the eastern half. The villages of Southampton and Southold, at the east, in the year 1640, were settled by Englishmen, who bargained with the agent of Lord Sterling, under his English patent, and with the Indians, and who took possession without the slightest opposition, and without interference from the Dutch. These villages, afterwards the centres of townships, were about eighty-five or ninety miles in a direct line from New York, and were separated from each other by Peconic Bay. Southampton was east of Shinecock Bay, which could be entered at the south from the ocean, and from which the whites and Indians could readily communicate with Peconic Bay at Canoe-place;and thence across Peconic Bay, or across Shelter Island, with Southold. The communications westwardly on the north side of Long Island, by the Sound, and on the south side by the great South Bay, were also comparatively easy. Canoes or small boats were used for travel, and occasionally larger vessels. The principal beaver-dams were west of both these villages. The vacant space between them and the Dutch - occupied only by Indians - was large; embracing necks of land projecting out on each side, north and south, many miles, which were separated from each other by bays. Into many of the bays small streams ran, called rivers, being as large as many of the rivers of England, and which generally started from swamps far inland.

Download or read book North Hempstead written by Howard Kroplick, Foreword by Leslie Gross and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2014 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bordering on Queens to the west and the town of Oyster Bay to the east, North Hempstead can be considered the heart of the Gold Coast--once the highest concentration of wealth and power in the country. As the gateway to New York City, the area was enticing to the rich and famous, including William Cullen Bryant, F. Scott Fitzgerald, John Philip Sousa, George M. Cohan, Groucho Marx, and the Vanderbilt, Whitney, Phipps, and Guggenheim families, and they flocked to North Hempstead for homes. With early advances in trains, automobiles, parkways, and even seaplanes, the town was transformed from a farming and estate community into a sprawling suburb. North Hempstead shares photographs documenting its growth and evolution into one of the "Best Places to Live in America." More than 200 images, many published for the first time, portray the town's history, people, buildings, and landmarks.

Download or read book Franklin Square written by Paul D. Van Wie and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2011 with total page 132 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First settled in the 1600s, the present-day village of Franklin Square developed as a German-speaking farming community in the late 1800s. The fertile farmland of Franklin Square supplied New York City with all types of fresh produce into the mid-20th century, when waves of suburban growth transformed fields into residential neighborhoods. Franklin Square's rich history exemplifies the larger trends in America's history. George Washington visited in 1790, and the poet Walt Whitman taught in the local school in 1840. The Franklin Square National Bank invented a new type of walk-up window as well as the bank credit card, eventually becoming the 18th-largest bank in the United States. A native son orbited the earth on the space shuttle.
Download or read book Hempstead Village written by Reine Duell Bethany, Foreword by Mayor Don Ryan and published by Arcadia Publishing. This book was released on 2018 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hempstead Village is the oldest English settlement in Long Island's Nassau County and the county's first political core. Diverse from its inception, the village's historic scenery includes stately Hempstead Town Hall, elegant St. George's Episcopal Church, and the white spires of the United Methodist Church of Hempstead and Christ's First Presbyterian Church. Hempstead's network of founding families established an enduring community from which other communities were spawned. Its central location made it the go-to destination for early travelers; its renowned Sammis Tavern hosted Pres. George Washington during his 1790 trip across Long Island. In the late 1800s, Hempstead's transport accessibility and lovely scenery lured the fabulously rich to build estates and summer homes within and surrounding its borders. By 1910, Hempstead had become a retail and banking center, and by 1920, it was known as "the Hub." Today, Hempstead embraces a population that reflects the growth and change occurring throughout our nation.
