LIVING IN ELMONT

M

any of Elmont's visitors come for the nationally renowned Belmont Park, which hosts the annual horseracing event known as the Belmont Stakes.

Elmont’s boundaries were decided in 1898, when its shift from Queens had been finalized. Before that, however, Elmont was predominantly farmland and controlled by Dutch settlers.

Belmont Racetrack was completed in 1905, a turning point in its history. Sale of the farmland began thereafter and houses were erected in its place.

Elmont School District includes six elementary schools: Dutch Broadway, Clara H. Carlson, Gotham Avenue, Covert Avenue, Alden Terrace and Stewart Manor. Nearly two-thousand students attend Elmont Memorial High School, part of the Sewanhaka Central High School District.

Elmont also has a volunteer fire department and is served by the Nassau County Police Department’s 4th Precinct. The Elmont Chamber of Commerce is led by Paul Sapienza. There are a number of civic associations, such as the Elmont East End Civic Association, that are designated toward helping residents express their views in organized ways.

Elmont has about 33,000 residents living in about 10,300 units, according to the 2010 census. It is 45 percent AfricanAmerican, 30 percent white, 22 percent Hispanic and 11 percent Asian.

One of the most prominent features of the community is the Elmont Memorial Library. A beautiful building and venue for a variety of events and entertainment series, the library boasts an auditorium and huge space for town meetings.

Thousands visit the library every month for a truly interactive media experience.

Notable residents of Elmont are WNBA President Donna Orender, author Nelson DeMille, comedian Andy Kaufman (buried at Beth David Cemetery) and trainer Cara Castronuova, who has appeared on “The Biggest Loser” television show.

hat is now Franklin Square was originally used as grazing land and farmland by settlers near the center of the Hempstead Plains.

By the 1950’s, farmland was rapidly being replaced by homes. Franklin Square was a major beneficiary of the emigration of people from New York City.

The Franklin Square School District is comprized of the Polk Street, John Street and Washington Street elementary schools. The nearby Willow Road Elementary School is in Valley Stream District 13. The high schools in the area are Valley Stream North and H. Frank Carey.

Franklin Square has a volunteer fire department and is served by the Nassau County Police Department’s 4th Precinct.

Its most notable park is Rath Park, which includes a pool, basketball, handball, tennis, football and baseball fields and a playground.

Town organizations include the Franklin Square Chamber of Commerce, led by Joseph Ardito, Esq., a historical society, youth football and soccer programs and Franklin Square Little League. One of the town’s oldest and most noteable restaurants is Plattdeutsche, which hosts many community events.

Franklin Square has about 30,000 residents living in about 10,300 units, according to the 2010 census. It is 83 percent white, 13 percent Hispanic, 7 percent Asian and 3 percent African-American.

Notable natives of Franklin Square include the artist and author Barbara Rosenthal, who wrote for the Franklin Square

TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD

NASSAU COUNTY

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.

Nassau County is governed by an elected Legislature. The Legislature is comprised of legislators from 19 districts. It includes an independent budget director who advises the Legislature on spending and revenue matters. The Legislature also enables residents to submit petitions for proposed new laws that legislators are obligated to consider. The 19 county legislators serve two-year terms.

The county executive — currently Republican Edward Mangano — serves a four-year term and is the chief administrator.

Nassau also has an elected comptroller, currently George Maragos, a district attorney, Kathleen Rice, and a county clerk, Maureen O'Connell.
