Historical Background of Nassau County

Nassau County, with a population of approximately 1.4 million residents, is located just east of Queens County (New York City) and comprises one of the two counties that make up Long Island (the other being Suffolk County). Nassau County has a rich colonial history dating back to the 1600s when Dutch and English settlers established what is now known as the towns of Hempstead and Oyster Bay.

Back then, Long Island was predominately fertile farmland that produced corn, potatoes, and tomatoes. Fast forward to 1898, when the western portion of Long Island had become part of New York City, and Mineola was voted as the County Seat. By the early 1900s, much of the farmland on the North Shore of Nassau County was turned into luxurious mega-mansions for New York’s wealthy and elite, forming Long Island’s “Gold Coast” and the inspiration for F. Scott Fitzgerald’s The Great Gatsby.

Following WWII, much of Nassau County was developed as suburban housing for post-war GIs. This led to a major boom in population and infrastructure. Today, Nassau County is known for its diversity, excellent public schools, high-end shopping centers, white sand beaches, and close proximity to New York City.

Historical Background of Suffolk County

Suffolk County, having a population of approximately 1.5 million, is located just east of Nassau County and comprises one of the two counties that make up Long Island (the other being Nassau County). Suffolk County was originally part of the Connecticut Colony before it became part of the Province of New York in the late 1600s.

Until the mid-1800s, Suffolk County was primarily known for its farming, shipbuilding, whaling, and fishing, but by the late 1930s, the county became an important player in the Aerospace and Defense industries. After WWII, like Nassau County, Suffolk County underwent a suburban housing development boom. Today, Suffolk County is known for its research universities, including Stony Brook University and Brookhaven National Lab, and its farmland and wineries, taking the crown as the largest agricultural county in the State of New York.
