LIVING IN BALDWIN

Maureen Lennon/Herald

Sanitary District No. 2, with the help of community groups, politicians and volunteers, took to the streets last spring during the annual Big Sweep to help make Baldwin brighter.

One of the most racially diverse communities in the United States, Baldwin is an unincorporated hamlet within the Town of Hempstead (America’s most populous town), and measures roughly two miles wide and five miles long. The population is in the range of 24,000 inhabitants.

Diversity is not only a fact of life in Baldwin; it’s a point of pride. Many newcomers cite the hamlet’s climate of racial cooperation among the features that drew them to the area, and established residents also take an active role in promoting harmony and understanding.

The racial diversity index — a census tool which measures blending of races in areas across the country — sets Baldwin’s number at 190, nearly double the national average of 100. The most recent census, taken in 2010, showed this trend increasing rather than reaching a plateau. The total population increased by nearly 6 percent between 1990 to 2010, and Baldwin’s current racial makeup consists of 12,000 people who identify as white, 8,400 African Americans, 5,000 Hispanics and a little more than 2,000 Asians and members of other races. The mixed-race population also grew from 710 people in 2000 to 931 in 2010.

Diversity is not the only attraction Baldwin has to offer, of course. An early-flowering suburb which began establishing itself as early as the 1920s, around a third of the homes in Baldwin

were built before 1940. This collection of older colonials, Tudors, ranches and splitlevels sits in a largely quiet area framed by waterfront parks, local and neighboring shopping and a downtown in the middle stages of development. The hamlet is less than an hour from Manhattan and is within 15 minutes of Jones Beach State Park.

A high performing school system has long been the backbone of the community. Budegtary cutbacks have been the spark of much outcry and discussion in recent years, especially leading up to the closing of Shubert and Milburn, two underused elementary schools, in June 2012, and large budget reductions made in June 2013 for the 2013-14 school year.

The budget cuts ignited community response, leading to the formation of Baldwin 4 Children, a group of concerned community members who raised $163,000 to restore school programs.

The Baldwin community passed its most recent school budget in May 2014, which featured zero cuts and restored nearly all programs that were lost the pervious year. School officials maintain that the district is in good financial shape moving forward.

In October 2012, Baldwin, like much of Nassau County's South Shore, was hit hard by Superstorm Sandy, causing flooding and porperty damage in Baldwin Harbor and on neighborhood roads. Most notably, a sewage vault burst beneath Barnes Avenue due to intense

flooding, which led to raw sewage flowing into people's homes and lawns. Much like it did following the school budget cuts, the community banded together following Sandy to help those in need.

Baldwin's community groups are as diverse as the populace. Among the civic organizations are the Baldwin Civic Association, the Chamber of Commerce, the Baldwin Foundation for Education, the Friends of Baldwin Schools, Concerned Parents of Baldwin, Baldwin Kiwanis, the Baldwin Lions, the Baldwin Historical Society, the Baldwin Oaks Civic Association and many, many more.

With such a multitude of organizations active within its borders, Baldwin is home to a full slate of annual and one-time events throughout the calendar year. Scarcely a weekend goes by without a farmer’s market, a musical, a juggling or magic show or a public concert attracting hundreds of residents. Annual standout attractions include the Chamber of Commerce-sponsored Christmas Tree lighting held at the railroad station, Baldwin Day and football and basketball games featuring the BHS Bruins, perennial title contenders in their respective sports.

Rich with history, diversity and civic activism, Baldwin is a hamlet on the rise.

The area inspires pride and a willingness to sacrifice in its residents, and its continuing revitalization is a tribute to those who make its future a personal priority on a day-to-day basis.

HISTORY The land that is today called Baldwin was first inhabited by the Merrick tribe of Native Americans. The Merricks were poor hunters and farmers, surviving primarily through trade with other tribes. This dependence on trade allowed early European settlers to persuade the Merricks to trade away their land. The Merricks formally lost all their land when chief Tackapausha of the Massapequa tribe signed a treaty with English settlers Robert Fordham and John Carman in 1643, which gave the English all of the Hempstead Town area.

In the 1660s, the town of Baldwin was a piece of land between Parsonage Creek and Milburn Creek called Hicks Neck, named after early resident John Hicks. The community was strengthened in 1686 when John Pine constructed a grist mill, attracting settlers and industry. For most early residents, however, farming and fishing remained the primary occupations.

The Revolutionary War caused a schism between Hicks Neck residents due to differing political beliefs, but following the war, the area prospered as an agricultural center.

Bethel Chapel was constructed on St. Luke’s Place in 1810 and served as the first church and schoolhouse of Hicks Neck.

Another man who brought activity and growth to Hicks Neck was John Lott, who ran both Lott’s Inn and Lott’s Landing seaport from the early to mid1800s. Lott’s property was located in an area of Hicks Neck north of Atlantic Avenue and west of Milburn Creek, which was known by the 1830s as Milburn.

Around the same time, Baldwin’s final namesake thus far, the Baldwin family, first moved into town. Thomas Baldwin quickly became a pillar of the community, running a sawmill, a hotel and a general store. Thomas’ son Francis, an architect, followed in his father’s tradition by building many homes in Baldwin and making donations to local schools and churches. His funeral in 1890 is said to have been the largest in Baldwin’s history.

The Baldwin family’s role in the community was so great that in 1855, only 25 years after Thomas Baldwin had moved there, the village was named Baldwinsville. By the end of the century, the village included the Milburn area, and its name

In 1867, the first train of the South Side Railroad (later part of the Long Island Rail Road) passed through Baldwin, and four years later Baldwin constructed its own post office near the train station.

1896 saw the establishment of the Baldwin Fire Department. The village was on the grow, and by 1890 the population had exceeded 1,200.

Albert and Arthur Heinrich, two brothers from Baldwin, made history in 1910 by building and flying the first successful American monoplane (a onewinged plane, as opposed to a biplane).

The Heinrichs went on to enjoy lucrative careers in airplane construction, which included building warplanes for World War I in a factory right in Baldwin.

Two local newspapers, the “Daily Review Star” and the “Baldwin Citizen,” started up in Baldwin in the 1920s. There was plenty to report, thanks to the high volume of liquor smuggling occurring in Baldwin’s ports during Prohibition.

The Depression was just as damaging to Baldwin residents as it was to most other Americans. A number of community groups formed to combat the unemployment and poverty of the times, and Baldwin continued to grow.

During World War II, a Baldwin resident, Lieutenant Bernard James Ray, earned a posthumous Congressional Medal of Honor when he strapped himself with explosives and charged an

enemy blockade. The close of the war saw another large increase in Baldwin’s population when soldiers returned home seeking employment.

The village continued to modernize in an attempt to accommodate its growing population. In 1957, the train tracks were raised onto a platform, and throughout the 1950s meadow land was filled in so that more homes could be built. In 1962, the Baldwin Public Library opened its doors. By 1970, Baldwin’s population was over 24,000.

In July 2006, Baldwin was voted #25 out of 100 “Top Places to Live” in the United States and #1 on Long Island by Money Magazine.

In the summer of 2009, Baldwin hosted its first-ever fireworks show — becoming one of the few non-villages in Nassau to do so.

The Baldwin Historical Society reopened the community's historical museum in January 2014 after it was closed for roughly 13 years. The museum boasts centuries of Baldwin's history and features artifacts dating back to the 18th century.

Today, Baldwin is a thriving suburban community. It boasts numerous schools and fine restaurants. It is home to the Nassau County Police Department’s First Precinct, and contains several lovely parks. Baldwin stands as an example of a modern Long Island suburb whose history will only continue to grow as it progresses through the 21st century.

A five-member elected school board acts as the community’s representative to the district and is responsible for an annual operating budget, which for the 2014-15 school year is $122 million.

Board members serve three-year terms without pay. Board elections and budget votes are conducted in May. The board meets on the second Wednesday of each month. Board meetings for the 2014-15 school year are updated on the Baldwin school district website www3.baldwinschools.org.

The Town of Hempstead, founded in 1644, is the largest township in the United States, encompassing 142 square miles with a population of approximately 760,000 people. Within the Town there are 34 unincorporated areas and 22 incorporated villages, more than 65 parks and marinas, and 2,500 miles of roads.

Under the current system, the Town of Hempstead is overseen by a town supervisor — currently Republican Kate Murray — and a six-member Town Council. The six members of the council are elected from one of six councilmatic districts. The supervisor has a two-year term, and the council members have a four-year term of office.

The supervisor serves as the chief executive officer of town government. She presides over all town board meetings, directing the legislative and administrative functions of that body. The supervisor also oversees the day-to-day operations of a municipal government of 24 major departments, employing just more than 2,100 people. As the chief financial officer of the township, the supervisor is responsible for the creation and the implementation of a town budget.

Council members are responsible for adopting the annual budget, amending the town code and the building zone ordinances, adopting all traffic regulations and hearing applications for changes of zone and special exceptions to zoning codes.
