Harbor Hills, New York

Harbor Hills is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) located on the Great Neck Peninsula within the Town of North Hempstead in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States. The population was 575 at the 2010 census.

History
In 1956, the Town of North Hempstead approved the construction of the community's swimming pool and its bathhouses, and approved of the creation of the Harbor Hills Park District, which was created specifically for the community's new park complex project. The contract was awarded to Great Neck-based Schumacher & Forelle, which bid $169,500 (1956 USD) for the pool's construction, and promised to do the work in 110 days. The project was paid for by the hamlet's roughly 175 residents.

The community's pool would be reconstructed between 1986 and 1989, and again was paid for by the hamlet's residents. This controversial project led to a lawsuit filed by residents over the payments and unexpected rises in taxes, which the Harbor Hills Civic Association charged were due to North Hempstead overpaying, expanding the project, and failing to properly communicate with or notify the locals.

The Harbor Hills CDP was first created for the 2000 United States Census.

Talk:Louis St. Laurent

Name of article: Saint Laurent or St-Laurent?
The National Archives gives his last name as St. Laurent, not Saint, and so do encyclopedia.com and my Canadian Oxford Dictionary. Do we have a cite for Saint, or should we move the article? - Montréalais

 * The National Archives biography says St. Laurent as well. I've actually never seen it as Saint Laurent, but then I've never seen "Saint Lawrence River" either, and that's the title of that article. Adam Bishop 23:45, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)

 * In French it's usually St-Laurent, which means that was probably how he spelt his name, but in English it's usually spelt St., with the period. Trontonian 21:32, 20 Oct 2003 (UTC)

I have, on Dept. of Fisheries and Oceans official hydrological charts. I don't see what the two have to do with each other. Just because I spell my name McLauchlin doesn't mean that we have to change Kyle MacLachlan to Mc. - Montréalais 23:54, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)

 * Well, I don't mean they're related, I meant maybe there was a policy to expand words like "saint". Adam Bishop 23:57, 26 Aug 2003 (UTC)

 * Actually, since there are a lot of city names with "St." I guess that is not a policy (St. Thomas, Ontario for example, since that city's name is officially St., not Saint). I guess I will move this. Adam Bishop 00:04, 27 Aug 2003 (UTC)

Exactly :) The best example I can think of are Saint John, New Brunswick (which insists it is not St.) and St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador (which is never Saint) - probably to avoid being confused with each other. - Montréalais 15:44, 27 Aug 2003 (UTC)

 * The Library of Parliament, which should probably be considered the definitive source for Canadian politicians, renders his name Louis St-Laurent. I am in favour of moving the page to this name, rather than trying to anglicise what is clearly a French name. Opinion?Fawcett5 04:48, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

 * I agree with Fawcett5. If "St-Laurent" is what he used, let's stick with that. Ground Zero | t 13:29, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Library and Archives Canada uses St. Laurent in English. Adam Bishop 16:15, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

 * Yes, but the Dictionary of Canadian Biography, which is very careful about these things, prefers St-Laurent. Fawcett5 20:12, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

Any reason his middle name is in the title? I thought article titles went by the most-used name; I never ran across LSL's middle name in anything till I came here... Radagast 03:06, Sep 13, 2004 (UTC)

 * No real reason...a lot of Canadian PMs used to be at a title with their full names, and this one was never moved. I guess it should be, though. Adam Bishop 20:25, 13 Sep 2004 (UTC)

This is one long block of prose, should probably be organized into sections like most other Canadian PMs (e.g. William Lyon Mackenzie King). Zander 21:52, 21 May 2005 (UTC)

bilingualism
It needs to be made clear which two languages he spoke. It is said that his mother was Irish.

Children
Do we not know the name of his children? I'm sure it must be documented somewhere and that someone who is alive today knows their names. NorthernThunder (talk) 11:39, 4 February 2008 (UTC)

lack of citations for factual information
There is a great deal of factual information in this article for which no citations are provided. The uncited information is distributed throughout multiple sections. As such I've added a Refimprove template to the entire article.

The tone of the uncited information certainly suggests that appropriate research has gone into the development of the article. However I'm concerned that in the absence of citations for that research the article may violate or be perceived to violate the Wikipedia principle of No Original Research.

This is the first time I have applied this template. If I have been too aggressive in doing so I welcome discussion or reversion. --Hughstimson (talk) 09:09, 22 August 2012 (UTC)

Hicksville, New York

Hicksville is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) within the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County, on Long Island, in New York. The population of the CDP was 43,869 at the 2020 census.

History
Hamlet namesake Valentine Hicks was the son-in-law of abolitionist and Quaker preacher Elias Hicks, and eventual president of the Long Island Rail Road. He bought land in the village in 1834 and turned it into a station stop on the LIRR in 1837. The station became a depot for produce, particularly cucumbers for a Heinz Company plant. After a blight destroyed the cucumber crops, the farmers grew potatoes. It turned into a bustling New York City suburb in the building boom following World War II.

Failed incorporation attempt
In 1953, Hicksville attempted to incorporate itself as the Incorporated Village of Hicksville. Many residents felt that by incorporating as a village, the community would be run more effectively than by the Town of Oyster Bay. A petition had been signed with 6,242 signatures from residents in favor of the plan.

However, these plans were unsuccessful, and Hicksville remains an unincorporated area of the Town of Oyster Bay to this day, as of 2023.

Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 6.8 sqmi, of which 6.8 sqmi is land and 0.15% is water.

Climate
The climate is borderline between hot-summer humid continental (Dfa) and humid subtropical (Cfa) and the local hardiness zone is 7a. Average monthly temperatures in the village center range from 31.9 °F in January to 74.7 °F in July.

Economy
Metalab Equipment Company, a division of Norbute Corp, made laboratory furniture and cabinetry. Alsy Manufacturing manufactured electric lamps and lampshades from 1975 through 1991.

The Rubber Company of America (RUCO) built a manufacturing site in 1945. RUCO Polymer Corp. (Hooker Chemical Company) manufactured plastics, latex, and esters. Occidental Chemical Corporation (OCC) owned and operated this site from 1966 to 1982. The site was purchased by Sybron Corporation, then in 2000, the Bayer Corporation (Bayer MaterialScience) purchased the Hooker Ruco facility and in 2002 decided to close the facility. The facility was a freight customer of the Long Island Rail Road and New York and Atlantic Railway, served by a spur track off the Main Line next to the grade crossing at New South Road. The site was used for the production of polyester from 1982 until 2002. The LIRR removed the switch during track work sometime after the closure and demolition of the buildings on the property. The property remains fenced-off and vacant currently.

The presence of a major LIRR hub means that Hicksville developed as a major bedroom community of New York City. The LIRR has a team yard on West John Street, just east of Charlotte Avenue, served by the New York and Atlantic Railway, for off-line freight customers receiving or shipping cargo by rail to anywhere in the North American rail network.

Hicksville's North Broadway, positioned in the center of Nassau County, developed into a significant retail center. North Broadway was home to the Mid-Island Shopping Plaza (now known as Broadway Mall), a 156,000-square-foot Sears department store and auto center (which closed in 2018) and various other restaurants and retail stores.

Hicksville is home to a number of South Asian grocery stores, clothing shops and restaurants, due to its large proportion of immigrants from India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. (The owner is Mortaza T.U.B)

Demographics
As of the 2020 United States Census, there were 43,869 people, and 13,409 households residing in the CDP. The population density was 6,458.9 people per square mile.

The racial makeup of the CDP was 47.2% White, 32.8% Asian, 3.4% African American, 0.2% Native American, 6.9% from two or more races, and Hispanic or Latino of any race were 13.6% of the population.

For the period 2017–2021, the median annual income for a household in the CDP was $123,230. The per capita income for the CDP was $46,504. About 4.1% of people were below the poverty line.

Asian population growth
By 1996 there were around four to five restaurants in Hicksville serving South Asian cuisine, and this started the ascent of a "Little India" there.

Between 2010 and 2020, Asian populations in Hicksville grew faster than the population as a whole. During this period, Hicksville's Asian population grew from 8,139 to 14,178, comprising 32.3% of the town's population. By 2020, Hicksville had become "a hub" of Indian-American life, with multiple South Asian grocery stores, clothing shops, and restaurants, serving the religious, economic, financial, and cultural needs of its many South Asian residents.

School districts
Hicksville is primarily located within the boundaries of the Hicksville Union Free School District. However, a small part of the hamlet's southeastern corner is located within the boundaries of the Bethpage Union Free School District while a small portion of the hamlet's northeastern corner is located within the boundaries of the Syosset Central School District. As such, children who reside within Hicksville and attend public schools go to school in one of these three districts depending on where they live within the hamlet. In 2023, Hicksville High School was ranked in the top 30% of New York schools by the National Center for Education Statistics.

Library districts
Hicksville is located within the boundaries of (and is thus served by) the Hicksville Library District, the Bethpage Library District, and the Syosset Library District. The boundaries of these three districts within the hamlet roughly correspond to those of the three school districts.

Inwood, New York

Inwood is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Nassau County, on Long Island, in New York, United States. The population was 11,340 at the time of the 2020 census. It is considered part of Long Island's Five Towns area and is located within the Town of Hempstead.

History
Inwood was first settled in 1600s. Like many other nearby communities, the area was known as Near Rockaway. A meeting was held by the Town of Hempstead on January 16, 1663, and during that meeting, the name of what is now Inwood was changed to North West Point (also spelled as Northwest Point), named after its geographic position in relation to the more central part of Far Rockaway, which it was then part of. It became the first area which was once known as Near Rockaway to be given its own name. Its original settlers were Jamaica Bay fishermen, generally lawless and troublesome to other Rockaway residents. Soon after the American Civil War, the area in 1871 became known as Westville. The Westville designation was used as the name of the community until residents petitioned for the United States Postal Service to establish a post office in the community. The post office refused as a Westville already existed in Upstate New York. This led locals to change the community's name to Inwood in December 1888. This name received the most votes; the other proposed names included Bayhead, Springhaven, Radwayton, Elco, Raway, Pike's Peak, and Custer. By changing the community's name, the locals were able to get a post office for Inwood, which ultimately opened on February 25, 1889.

Inwood's first post office closed after roughly 30 years of operation (circa 1920), and it was not until 1949 that a new post office would open in the community – although an unsuccessful, earlier attempt to reopen it was made in 1932.

The first true road in the area, the Inwood end of Lord Avenue, was built when the neighboring village of Lawrence was developed.

When the first post office in the village was established on February 25, 1889, the name of the village was changed to Inwood; a post office named Westville already existed in New York State. By the time of World War I, a large part of Inwood's population was of Italian and Albanian extraction.

Inwood is home to the famous Inwood Country Club, which was the site of the 1921 PGA Championship – in addition to the 1923 U.S. Open.

Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP has a total area of 2.1 sqmi, of which 1.7 sqmi is land and 0.4 sqmi – or 20.19% – is water.

Inwood's northernmost and westernmost boundaries border Queens in the City of New York, and it is located across Head of the Bay from John F. Kennedy international Airport.

Inwood is bisected by the Nassau Expressway (New York State Route 878).

2010 census
As of the 2010 United States census, there were 9,792 people residing in the CDP. The racial makeup of the CDP was 48.02% White, 24.15% African American, 0.74% Native American, 3.31% Asian, 0.15% Pacific Islander, 19.21% from other races, and 4.42% from two or more races.

History
Located in the Town of Oyster Bay, Jericho was part of the Robert Williams Plantation in 1648. The English families who settled in Jericho were, or soon became, Quakers, members of the Society of Friends. Many fled from persecution in England and in the New England Colonies. They sought a peaceful existence as farmers. The name of the area was changed in 1692 from Lusum to Jericho after the town in the Middle East near the Jordan River mentioned in the Bible as part of the Promised Land.

Elias Hicks married Jemima Seaman in 1771 and moved to her family's farm in Jericho, where he soon became a noted preacher of Quaker doctrine. All the Quakers suffered during the British occupation of Long Island in the Revolutionary War. The practice was to quarter troops in homes of residents, who had to provide room and board for them. The Quakers continued to protest the entire concept of war itself. After the war, peace returned to Jericho, and the neat farms and businesses began to prosper. A Friends Meeting house was built in 1788 in Jericho that is still used in the 21st century. A Quaker school was built in 1793, the Charity Society of Jericho and Westbury in 1794, and slavery was abolished in 1817, with Hicks' help.

A post office was established in 1802, a cider mill in the mid-19th century, the first public elementary school in 1905, known as the Cedar Swamp School. Improvements to infrastructure were made with the founding of the Jericho Water District in 1923. As the population increased, a new elementary school was built in 1953 (Robert Seaman School), and a Volunteer Fire Department established in 1938. The population kept increasing until the last elementary schools in Jericho were built, the George A. Jackson Elementary School in 1957, the now closed Robert Williams School in 1961 and the Cantiague School in 1963. When the Village of Muttontown was incorporated, the cider mill was within the village limits. Because most Gold Coast villages wanted to remain business free areas, many do not have their own post offices or ZIP Codes. Therefore, Jericho Post Office which serves this area of Muttontown is displayed as the official USPS mailing address and leads to the misconception that the cider mill is in Jericho.

After World War II, in the 1950s Phebe Underhill Seaman sold a large piece of her land to real estate developers. This property was developed for new suburban housing. The water tower was erected in 1952. In 1958 the NY Department of Transportation demolished "Old Jericho" to widen Broadway, Routes 106/107, and to put in a cloverleaf access to Jericho Turnpike. New grade schools and a high school were added to the community along with a shopping center, a new post office, new fire department and a public library.

Also in Jericho is the New York Community Bank Theatre, originally established in 1956 as the Westbury Music Fair. The main entrance to SUNY Old Westbury is located in Jericho.

In 2014, a car dealership illegally stored vehicles in a parking lot at Cantiague Park, which prompted the Jericho Gardens Civic Association to press for answers. Upon the civic association bringing the issue to the attention of Nassau County, the county took action against the dealership.

Underground Railroad
The building now known as One North was built in 1789 as the home for the prominent Quaker and abolitionist Valentine Hicks, his wife Abigail, and their children. Hicks' father-in-law Elias Hicks "had been the spark that helped convince Quakers and other like-minded people after the Revolutionary War that all men were created equal—including people of color who were enslaved". Valentine Hicks was also an Underground Railroad station master; in his home—a key way station—a removable panel behind an upstairs linen closet (that is still there today) concealed a staircase to the attic where Hicks hid runaways until the coast was clear. The Town of Oyster Bay designated the site as a historic town landmark in 2012. In 2015 there was a lot of outrage over the preservation of this historic site. Partial demolition of the Maine Maid Inn took place without the approval of the Oyster Bay landmark commission, which outraged many preservationists.

Kensington, New York

History
On November 7, 1921, by a unanimous vote of the residents, Kensington incorporated as a village.

The village was named after London’s Kensington Gardens, and the entrance gates at the main entrance to the village were based on Kensington Garden's gates.

Many of Kensington's mayors have served for substantially long terms. Notable are Mayor Seymour Cohen, Mayor Steven Randall and Mayor Bonnie Golub. The mayor also serves as Commissioner of Police. The Village of Kensington was initially established as an enclave of homes of famous celebrities.

The waterfront park was deeded to the Kensington Association in August 1915. This included a 500-foot sand beach on Manhasset Bay, miniature lakes, a boat dock, tennis courts, and one of the largest fresh water swimming pools in the United States.

In order to maintain the residential character of the community, a restrictive covenant was written to keep business and industry out. Furthermore, a membership corporation called the Kensington Association was initiated to take care of maintenance and police protection.

Kensington was recognized as one of the safest places to live in the U.S. and remains that way to this day.

He modeled East Egg, the town where Daisy and Tom lived, after Great Neck's eastern neighbor Sands Point, which is part of Port Washington.

Lake Success, New York

Lake Success is a village in the Town of North Hempstead in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York. The population was 2,828 at the 2020 census.

The Incorporated Village of Lake Success was the temporary home of the United Nations from 1946 to 1951, occupying the headquarters of the Sperry Gyroscope Company on Marcus Avenue. It was also the former home of Canon USA before it moved its corporate headquarters to Melville (in neighboring Suffolk County) in the early 21st century.

History

Lake Success derives its name from a kettle lake of the same name which according to village lore had a Native American name of "Sucut." William K. Vanderbilt II bought land around the lake in the early 20th century for a home. The village was incorporated in 1927.

In 1939, the United States government bought a large tract between Marcus Avenue, Lakeville Road and Union Turnpike, to be the home to the Sperry Gyroscope Company which built a variety of maritime, military, aerospace and navigation products. During World War II the plant had 22,000 employees. After the war, part of the plant became the temporary headquarters of the United Nations from 1947 to 1952, while its headquarters building in New York City was being built. The 1500000 sqft facility continued to be used by various companies (including Unisys and Loral Corporation) to build defense products over ensuing decades. It was purchased by Lockheed Martin in 1996. The company closed the plant in 1998 and began an environmental clean-up of the site overseen by the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. The building became I-Park, and a few technical companies moved it, but much of the space was unused. In 2005, Northwell Health leased 454,000 square feet of the 1.4-million-square-foot former defense plant, and is valued at about $300 million and comes with an option to buy.

Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.9 sqmi, of which 1.9 sqmi is land and 0.04 sqmi  (2.08%) is water.

Lake Success is split between three minor drainage areas: Alley Creek (part of the Little Neck Bay Watershed), Hook Creek/Head of Harbor, and Manhasset Bay, and is located within the larger Long Island Sound/Atlantic Ocean Watershed.

The village borders the Little Neck neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens.

Economy
Sumitomo Corporation operates its Lake Success Shared Services Center in Suite 220 at 1999 Marcus Avenue in an area in the Town of North Hempstead, south of Lake Success. Companies based in Lake Success include Broadridge Financial Solutions, and Hain Celestial Group.
