LIVING IN SEAFORD Seaford may be a small community, but it is steeped in history, much of which is on display at the Historical Museum on Waverly Avenue.

Christina Daly/Herald

The area known today as Seaford was originally called “Great Water Land” or “Land on the Great Cove” by the Massapequa Native Americans who settled there. It was purchased by Captain John Seamen in 1643 and eventually named after his hometown in England. He purchased Seaford after he fled the Plymouth, Massachusetts settlement in search of religious and political freedom.

The first school building was built in 1830. In 1893, a vote was taken to establish a union free school district.

Most of Seaford is served by the Seaford School District, however some children in the community attend Wantagh, Levittown, Plainedge or Island Trees schools. Private schools in Seaford include Maria Regina and Saint William the Abbot, both of which are Roman Catholic.

In the coming years, the closed Seaford Avenue School is expected to be replaced with an adult community.

The community has its own train station, volunteer fire department and public library. Major roads include Sunrise Highway, Merrick Road and Jerusalem Avenue.

According to the 2010 census, Seaford has a population of 15,294 people, a decrease of about 500 from the 2000 census. These residents live in more than 5,000 households. It is 95.4 percent white, 2.1 percent Asian and .5 percent black. 23 percent are under the age of 18, and 14 percent are 65 or older.

Seaford is home to Cedar Creek Park, located south of Merrick Road and east of Wantagh Avenue. It offers athletic fields, playgrounds, picnic areas and community-based activities. It is also the site of a sewage treatment plant. Other recreational facilities include Seaman's Neck Park and Washington Avenue Park. The Tackapausha Preserve along the border with Massapequa includes nature trails and museum featuring a collection of live animals.

Seaford's main business district is along Merrick Road.

There are also businesses located along Sunrise Highway, Washington Avenue and in the Seaford Harbor section.

The Seaford High School football team is regularly ranked as one of the best in the county, and the team won four straight conference championships from 2007-10.

Provided photo

Seaford is home of the Vikings, and Moet Irizarry showed off his pride at last year's Homecoming.

Seaford offers a Police Activity League for several sports for children along with a Catholic Youth Organization and Seaford Little League baseball and softball. It is also the home of the Long Island Broncos youth football and cheer organization.

There are many active organizations including a Chamber of Commerce, Lions Club, Wellness Council and recently reborn Kiwanis Club.

Yearly activities that Seaford residents look forward to include the Wellness Council's 5K hot chocolate run, the summer concert series hosted by the library, and numerous fairs and festivals.

LIVING IN WANTAGH

Christina Daly/Herald

Wantagh is known as the Gateway to Jones Beach.

The Wantagh area originally belonged to the Merokee tribe of the Metoac Native Americans before the Dutch and English settled in the area in 1650 and the Dutch partitioned to obtain everything west of Oyster Bay, including Wantagh. The area was known by the Dutch as Jerusalem before being named Ridgewood in the 1880s and later named Wantagh due to the name “Ridgewood” already being used by another New York town.

In 1790, the town’s first school was when the community was known as Jerusalem. Now, the area is mainly served by the Wantagh Union Free School District. It is the only New York State district in which all schools within it have been recognized as National Schools of Excellence. Areas of North Wantagh belong to the Levittown School District.

According to the 2010 census, Wantagh has a population of 18,871 living in nearly 6,000 households. It is 93 percent white, 0.30 percent African American, 2 percent Asian and 4.7 percent Hispanic or Latino, according to the 2010 census.

North Wantagh has a population of 11,960, and 4,144 househouseholds. It is 88.6 percent white, 2.5 percent Asian, 7.5 percent Hispanic and 0.8 percent black.

The town has a train station, volunteer fire department, volunteer ambulance corporation, library and several parks.

Major roads include Merrick Road, Sunrise Highway, Jerusalem Avenue, Wantagh Avenue and the Wantagh State Parkway.

The community is known as the Gateway to Jones Beach.

Residents can enjoy a scenic bike ride along the Wantagh Parkway to Jones Beach, where there are bike racks, then continue along Ocean Parkway to TOBAY Beach.

Jones Beach is home to the Theodore Roosevelt Nature Center. Over the summer, there are regular free concerts at the Boardwalk Bandshell, and many big acts perform at the Nikon Theater on the bay. Recent enhancements at the park include a new boardwalk, outdoor food court known as the Smorgesbar and the addition of free Wi-Fi. Other local parks include Mill Pond, Forest City Community Park, Wantagh Park and the Twin Lakes Preserve, offering

Jack Healy/Herald

Every year, the community crowns Miss Wantagh.

Angelica Balitsos won the honor in 2013 and attended numerous community events, including the annual holiday celebration. a variety of amenities from scenic nature walks to recreational facilities.

The community has several business districts, including along Wantagh Avenue, Merrick Road, Sunrise Highway, Park Avenue, and Jerusalem Avenue. Wantagh is known to have renowned and popular bars, clubs and pubs all within walking distance from the train station.

There are numerous active organizations including the Chamber of Commerce, American Legion, youth sports groups, Kiwanis Club and Wantagh Preservation Society.

Annual events that Wantagh residents look forward to include the Memorial Day and Fourth of July parades, crowning of Miss Wantagh, and numerous fairs and festivals.

SEAFORD SCHOOL DISTRICT

Andrew Hackmack/Herald

Fifth-graders at the Seaford Manor School unpacked their new supplies as they began the 2014 school year on Sept. 3.

Seaford Union Free School District No. 6 was formed in 1893. Before that, Seaford had a single school building and prior to that, students went to school in North Bellmore.

The first school building in Seaford was built in 1830. It was replaced in 1849 with a two-room building that was condemned in 1893 when the district was created. A Board of Education was set up of five elected officials and another new schoolhouse was constructed. In 1921, the Jackson Avenue School opened. It was later used as administrative offices and has since been sold.

In 1938, the Seaford Avenue School was built, and was closed in the early 1980s.

Today, the district operates four schools: Seaford Manor School (built in 1954), Seaford Harbor (1962), Seaford Middle School (1964) and Seaford High School (1956). The district serves more than 2,300 students and has a budget of $62.6 million. Its high school has been named a New York State Reward School for the past three years.

Seaford Union Free School District www.seaford.k12.ny.us Board of Education President: Bruce A. Kahn Vice President: Brian W. Fagan Trustees: Susan Ruona, Stacie Stark, Jeanmarie Wink District Clerk: Carmen Ouellette Business meetings are typically held the first Thursday of each month at 7:30 p.m. at either the Harbor or Manor schools.

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.
