Living in Elmont

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 5th Precinct. The Elmont Chamber of Commerce is led by Muzzio Tallini. There are a number of civic associations, such as the Elmont East End Civic Association, that are dedicated to helping residents express their views in organized ways.

Elmont has about 33,000 residents living in about 10,300 housing units, according to the 2010 census.

It is 45 percent African-American, 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.

Patrick Boyle runs Elmont's Gateway Youth Outreach, a highly praised local non-profit, voluntary and communitybased organization that provides many services to the youth in the Sewanhaka Central High School District and the communities around it.

Living in: Franklin Square

Christina Daly/Herald

The annual St. Catherine of Sienna's festival brings hundreds of volunteers and thousands of attendees to the streets of Franklin Square every June. The first true italian O’Giglio structure built on Long Island was lifted on the shoulders of the men of the Sons of San Paolino di Nola during the 2015 St. Catherine's Feast. Here, after the men walked it from the parking lot into the street on their shoulders, Jimmy Alleva, on the O'Giglio, the MC and a well known opera singer, serenaded the crowd.

W

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.

Local organizations include the Franklin Square Chamber of Commerce, currently led by coPresidents Dave Herman and Bruno M. Caracciolo; a historical society; youth football and soccer programs; and Franklin Square Little League. One of Franklin Square'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 housing units, according to

the 2010 census. It is 83 percent white, 13 percent Hispanic, 7 percent Asian and 3 percent AfricanAmerican.

Notable natives of Franklin Square include the artist and author Barbara Rosenthal, who wrote for the Franklin Square Bulletin in 1959 at age 11; novelist Alice Hoffman; radio personality Rich Davis; country singer Lisa Matassa; “Jersey Shore” reality television show star Jenni “JWoww” Farley; music journalist and award-winning author Jeff Tamarkin; radio and television host Sean Hannity; NASA astronaut Michael Massimino; professional football player Vinny Testaverde and Major League Baseball player Al Weis.

towN of hempstead

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. towN of Hempstead Hempstead Town Hall 1 Washington St., Hempstead, NY 11550 489-5000 www.townofhempstead.org
