Uniondale, New York

Uniondale is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of Hempstead, in the central Nassau County of Long Island, within the U.S. state of New York. The hamlet lies within the Tri-State area and its population was 32,473 at the time of the 2020 census.

The CDP is home to Nassau Community College and Hofstra University's north campus and a portion of its southern campus, as well as the Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum.

A one-room schoolhouse was built in 1830, which is the current site of the Uniondale Public Library. Hofstra University was established in the estate of William S. Hofstra (now Netherlands Hall) in 1935.

In the early 1970s, several Uniondale residents attempted to incorporate their hamlet as a village, citing dissatisfaction with the way their community was being represented on the board of the committee for redeveloping Mitchel Field, regarding matters like policies and the plans. Their incorporation plans were unsuccessful, and Uniondale remains an unincorporated hamlet governed by the Town of Hempstead.

Until 2015, the area of Uniondale north of the Hempstead Turnpike was a separate census-designated place called East Garden City.

According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP had a total area of 2.7 square miles (7.0 km2), all land.

The Uniondale CDP gained territory between the 2010 census and the 2020 census, due to the hamlet and former CDP of East Garden City being absorbed by the CDP of Uniondale.

According to the Köppen climate classification, Uniondale has a Humid subtropical climate (type Cfa) with cool, wet winters and hot, humid summers. Precipitation is uniform throughout the year, with slight spring and fall peaks.
