Town Hall Dedication, October 16, Work in North Hempstead For over years, the harbors and bays of North Hempstead and the Long Island Sound supported a thriving maritime economy of fisherman, boat-builders and sail makers. Shell fishing was important to the economy of Port Washington and Roslyn as early as when Henry Cocks, owner of a Manhasset Bay tidal mill, planted oysters in a salt water pond.
In , a group of Staten Island businessmen invested in planting oysters in Cow Bay Manhasset Bay , leading the development of commercial oyster farming in Manhasset Bay and Hempstead Harbor. The result was an influx of new families to North Hempstead. When the railroad station opened in Port Washington, barrels were shipped by train to the markets. In , a U.
The shell fishing industry in North Hempstead came to an end in the early s as the Long Island Sound became polluted with untreated sewerage. Hempstead Harbor was officially closed for shellfishing in With the elimination of many industrial uses around the harbor and water quality improvement efforts, the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation in June opened 2, acres of outer Hempstead Harbor as a shellfish area.
Pasturing cattle in North Hempstead began soon after the initial settlement was established by Foreman and Carmen in The settlers established farms on the Hempstead Plains and pastured their cattle on the hilly Cow Neck peninsula with abundant supply of water. The importance of cattle farming in early North Hempstead is shown in the town archives. The rich soil and meadows of North Hempstead fed by springs, and ponds helped make farming the primary occupation through the s.
Farmers raised grew vegetables and wheat, kept chickens, hens and cows and horses for transportation. Many raised sheep for wool for clothing. Through the s, most of the property surrounding Hempstead Harbor was occupied by farms on rolling hills owned by families of the original North Hempstead settlers. Eventually most of this area was sold to sand mining companies, who mined the vast deposits glacial sand and gravel laid down over 20, years ago.
Between and , more than million tons of sand was shipped from Port Washington to New York City to make concrete for skyscrapers, subway tunnels, foundations and sidewalks. In the mids, the branch became part of the Long Island Rail Road, which built its first Great Neck station in As a result of the new train station, businesses grew in the southern section of the village, now known as Great Neck Plaza.
With the completion of the railroad tunnel in , the Great Neck commute became even more attractive. From to , William K. The possibility of annexation to Greater New York was dismissed, to the cheers of the audience, as entirely out of the question.
Another, the idea of creation a new county by combining Queens County's easter towns with different towns of western Suffolk, seemed unlikely of adoption.
Scudder concluded that the organization of a new county was the only solution to the problem which confronted them. Before the general discussion began, the meeting choose officers, headed by Benjamin D Hicks of North Hempstead as chairman. Hicks had been a leader in previous attempts to create a new county. For his long years of work in striving for an independent county he deserves to be called the Father of Nassau County. A popular and successful Quaker banker, he was an intelligent and active partisipant in all types of community improvement, Archer B Wallace, son of the assemblyman, was chosen secretary of the meetings.
Discussion began after J B Coles Tappen of Oyster Bay made the motion: Resolved that it is the sense of this meeting that the towns of Hempstead and Oyster Bay withdraw from the county of Queens, and that a new county to include the said towns be formed.
A few dissidents took up the question of alternative actions. General James Pearsall of Glen Cove, who had been a member of the assemble in an attempt twenty years before to create a new county, declared it would be impossible to get such a measure through the legislature.
Many of those in attendance felt, with Edward N Townsend of Hempstead, that "the county would be an inexpensive on to govern. In appropriate Long Island fashion, D N Munger closed the subject by stating that "they should consider not what should be taken in but what barnacles should be taken off. Tappen's resolution was carried with only a few dissenting votes. James Ludlam of Oyster Bay then offered a motion which was unanimously adopted, as follows: Whereas, It is for the best interest of the citizens of the towns of Hempstead, North Hempstead and Oyster Bay to withdraw from the county of Queens.
