Greetings from the Chamber Dear East Meadow Residents: he East Meadow Chamber of Commerce is celebrating its 60th year serving the business community. It is an outstanding organization made up of more than 180 local businesses working together to improve the community. The Chamber helps develop and maintain relationships within the community and acts as a liaison between local businesses and the various levels of government. The Chamber strives to help businesses grow and to create a business friendly environment that ensures that East Meadow will be a wonderful place to live, work and raise a family. Regular monthly meetings are held on the first Wednesday of the month. The meetings help keep our members informed and provide networking opportunities.

The Chamber hosts an annual Memorial Day parade, holiday lighting ceremonies, networking events, a fishing trip, a shop locally program and much more. On September 28th, the Chamber will host its Culinary Delights fundraiser for the 13th year at the Carltun on the Park right here in Eisenhower Park. The proceeds from this event help fund several local and regional charities. The Chamber, with the help of past presidents and state and local officials, created the East Meadow Town Square at Town of Hempstead Veteran’s Memorial Park. The Town Square has become a gathering place for East Meadow residents to enjoy. Many events take place in the square each year that enrich the lives of residence within the community. For many years, the Chamber has been funded thousands of dollars in scholarships to deserving students at both local high schools and supported many programs within the school system. Annual beautification programs improve the look of our community and help improve our business districts.

Please take a moment to review the list of our 2015 Chamber members.

These businesses ask for your support and ask you to and shop locally. If you would like more information, please call the Chamber office at (516) 794-3727, or visit our website at eastmeadowchamber.com. You do not have to own a business to be a part of the Chamber. We welcome both business owners and residents who can join as civic members.

So when you want to buy with confidence, shop locally. Thank you for all that you do to help our town.

Living in East Meadow E

ast Meadow, a hamlet in Nassau County, lies within the Town of Hempstead.

According to the 2010 census, East Meadow has a population of approximately 38,000 people living in 12,800 housing units. It is 70 percent white, 5 percent African-American and 12 percent Asian.

About 80 percent of the population is 18 and older.

SCHOOLS AND LIBRARY The East Meadow community has one public school district, boasting two high schools, two middle schools and five elementary schools, which also take in students from Westbury. The schools are East Meadow and W.T. Clarke high schools, Woodland and W.T. Clarke middle schools, and Barnum Woods, Bowling Green, McVey, Meadowbrook and Parkway elementary schools. The elementary level sees students from kindergarten through fifth grade, and the middle schools take in sixth through eighth grade.

The district welcomed a new superintendent for 2015-16, Leon Campo, on an interim basis, replacing the recently retired Louis DeAngelo. Campo had previously served as superintendent from 2006 to 2009.

For the first time this year, the elementary schools will feature full-day kindergarten, an expansion that was approved by district residents in last May's budget vote.

The East Meadow PTA Council, a coalition of school PTAs, is led by President Donna La Scala.

East Meadow is also home to three parochial schools and eight nursery schools.

The East Meadow Public Library is renowned for its wide array of programs, services and vast book collection, and is also working to incorporate new technologies. Each year, it hosts EMcon, where thousands come to the library to celebrate the popular Japanese art called anime. The library’s current director is Carol Probeyahn.

The East Meadow Fire Department headquarters is on East Meadow Avenue, and the department has approximately 260 volunteers. It is led by four commissioners, and has five fire stations, four engine companies, two ladder companies, one rescue company, a ladies’ auxiliary unit, a paramedic fly car program and a safety officers program. Its current chief of department is James Kane.

PARKS AND RECREATION Parks are a big part of the East Meadow community, and none is more recognizable than Eisenhower Park. At 930 acres, it is larger than New York City’s Central Park, and has dozens of athletic fields, 16 lighted tennis courts, a basketball court, three 18-hole golf courses, picnic areas and fitness trails.

Eisenhower Park is also the home of the Nassau County Aquatic Center, which has a 50-meter pool that is 68 meters long. Built in 1998, the swimming facility has hosted the Goodwill Games, and now hosts other major swimming competitions and is also open to the public. The Twin Rinks Ice Center

opened to the public in the summer of 2014, adjacent to the Aquatic Center, an 80,000-square-foot indoor facility with two indoor ice rinks, an outdoor rink and a sports recreational center.

Other parks in East Meadow include the Town of Hempstead-operated Edward J. Speno Memorial Park on East Meadow Avenue, named after Edward Speno, who was the first president of the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce in 1954.

Veterans Memorial Park on Prospect Avenue, also Town of Hempstead operated, is the home of a public outdoor swimming pool. Adjacent to the pool, at the intersection of East Meadow Avenue, sits East Meadow Town Square, designed and built by the East Meadow Chamber of Commerce.

As of 2014, Veterans Park is now home to an 1,800-pound marble statue, a steel beam from the World Trade Center and a commemorative footstone listing the names of East Meadow residents who died on Sept. 11, 2001. The memorial was installed by the East Meadow Kiwanis Club.

COMMUNITY GROUPS The community boasts very active and diverse community organizations, including the Council of East Meadow Community Organizations (CEMCO), the Chamber of Commerce, the Kiwanis Club of East Meadow, the Pope Pius XII Knights of Columbus Council 4422, Knights of Pythias East Meadow Lodge 774 Alliance, and the Community Association of Stewart Avenue. The groups organize the community’s biggest annual events, including the Memorial Day parade, Community Pride Day, Culinary Delights and Christmas tree and menorah lightings in the winter.

Veterans groups include American Legion Post 1082, Jewish War Veterans Post 709, and Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2736.

Churches, synagogues and mosques of all different faiths can be found throughout East Meadow, and several senior homes are also spread throughout the community.

Take a trip into the past

By Amy Schoenberger

T

he history of East Meadow is long and storied, dating back to the 17th century.

In 1643, a small group of colonists from Connecticut decided to cross Long Island Sound and create a new settlement on Long Island. They purchased land from Native Americans and named it Hempstead Town, after their birthplace in England. One year later, Governor Kieft gave them a patent, and the colonists claimed the land as their own.

In 1655, surveyor Thomas Langdon reported at a Hempstead Town meeting that the “east meadow” was suitable for grazing. Cattle and sheep would graze there for years and were East Meadow’s primary residents in its early days. The sheep supplied much of the colony’s wool.

On the last Monday in October, the sheep would be driven to East Meadow’s public pen from all sections of the Hempstead Plains.

They were identified with certain marks on their ears and sent home with farmers.

Unmarked sheep were auctioned off. The day became something of a celebration as soon merchants, acrobats, clowns and politicians began attending.

It eventually became an annual holiday called Parting Day. In 1665, a horse track was established in the Salisbury area, attracting many people to East Meadow. Many racetracks came and went on the plains during this time, but the Salisbury horse track was among the most famous.

In May 1750, Jerusalem Road was built through East Meadow.

Newbridge Avenue was made an official highway in 1755, and it ran from Jericho Turnpike to Newbridge Neck on the South Shore. Eleanor Roosevelt, one of the more noteworthy people to call East Meadow home, lived on Newbridge Avenue as a child many years before she became the First Lady of the United States.

Prospect Avenue was called Haycarter’s Lane because it was

The Front Street School class of 1949 was the final graduating class before the school burned down on Dec. 5, 1950. Eight of the graduates reuinted at the East Meadow Public Library — where the school once sat — in November 2014 to celebrate their 65th year renunion.

a winding path leading to the Haying Fields. Merrick Avenue was originally called Barnum Avenue, and Hempstead Turnpike was originally a toll road.

Peter and Sarah Barnum also did much for the community.

They owned 2,000 acres of land, which Sarah inherited from her father. In an area of many farms and estates, the Barnums owned the most land. They supported more than 100 seasonal workers in addition to their regular help. Adding to their land, they also purchased other small farms around Long Island.

In 1849, John Noon bought an inn at Prospect and Newbridge avenues. He named it the WellsFargo Hotel, and it was very prosperous and well known.

The Meadow Brook Hunt Club was established in 1877 by a group of sportsmen who brought a pack of hounds from Ireland. They leased an old farmhouse near Merrick Avenue and enjoyed their sporting activity for many years as a club. That area was turned into the Meadow Brook Golf Course at the turn of the last century, a time when golf was becoming a popular sport in East Meadow.

East Meadow faced one of its worse calamities when the blizzard of 1888 struck. Roads were impossible to travel on, and snow

went up to second-story windows.

The first school in East Meadow was a one-room schoolhouse at Front Street and Newbridge Avenue.

It soon proved to be overcrowded, so East Meadow Hall was established at the turn of the century, which was a two-room schoolhouse right next to the post office.

In 1922, the school was said to be overflowing with pupils, and East Meadow established another school on Newbridge Road, called the Newbridge Road School.

In 1950, overcrowding became a problem again, and the Prospect Avenue Elementary School was established.

By 1955, East Meadow High School was established, headed by principal Edward J. McCleary.

Two years later, W. Tresper Clarke High School opened.

After World War I, East Meadow became large enough to start running public buses to and from Hempstead.

After World War II, East Meadow’s population skyrocketed — increasing by 376 percent.

In 1951, there were 25,000 residents living there, and that number more than doubled within the next six years.

Veterans Memorial Park was established in April 1963 as the first park and pool in East Meadow.

Town and County NASSAU COUNTY

TOWN OF HEMPSTEAD

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, Madeline Singas, and a county clerk, Maureen O'Connell.

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 twoyear 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.
