Port Washington North, New York
Port Washington North is a village in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States. It is considered part of the Greater Port Washington area, which is anchored by Port Washington. The population was 3,160 at the time of the 2020 census.
The Incorporated Village of Port Washington North is located on the Cow Neck Peninsula and is the youngest village in the Town of North Hempstead.
The area now consisting of the Port Washington North was initially settled by European colonists – mainly Dutchmen and Englishmen – in 1644, after they purchased land from the people of the Matinecock Nation.
Port Washington North incorporated on May 16, 1932, after residents of the area unanimously voted in favor of incorporating that year. In doing so, it became the youngest village in North Hempstead – a title it retains. Its first Mayor, John Cocks, led the movement to incorporate; he was elected on August 2, 1932.
In 1931, one year prior to the incorporation of Port Washington North as a village, the adjacent village, Manorhaven, unsuccessfully attempted to annex the area – in addition to both the Port Washington Terrace neighborhood and what is now the Morewood Oaks neighborhood in unincorporated Port Washington. Manorhaven's annexation bid was unsuccessful due to legal disputes and how the residents in what would ultimately become Port Washington North preferred to incorporate as a separate village. When Port Washington North incorporated one year later, in 1932, the new village's territory effectively separated the two unincorporated areas – excluded from the territory of the newly-incorporated village of Port Washington North – from the rest of unincorporated Port Washington, in turn creating two exclaves.
In 1944, Nassau County announced that it would reconstruct Shore Road through the village, widening it to 70 feet (21 m) and eliminating dangerous curves. The project involved the use of eminent domain, and some structures – including the historic, 1890-built Gildo's Hotel at the corner of Shore Road and Mill Pond Drive – were moved further back to accommodate the widened road while ensuring the structure's preservation.
In 1952, after holding a one regular board meeting per year for two decades, the Board of Trustees – the village's governing body – began holding its regular meetings once each month. One year later, in 1953, the village annexed an uninhabited area occupied by a sand mine along Cow Neck Road.
By the late 1950s, the Colonial Sand and Gravel Company began selling tracts of their land to developers. In 1959, approval was given by the village for developers to begin constructing the first section of Port Washington North's Soundview Village subdivision.
