T

Did you know that the Merrick Chamber of Commerce provides the beautiful snowflakes that light up our streets during the holiday season? Or that the chamber provides $6,000 a year in scholarships to our high schools?

Margaret Biegelman How do we do it? It is all thanks to you, the residents of Merrick and the businesses and professionals who are paid members of the Merrick Chamber of Commerce. Every time you shop at or do business with local chamber members, you provide them the ability to offer the vast array of goods and services that we all need and want in our town. We ask that you please visit our website at www.merrickchamber.org and choose the goods and services of our paid members.

You can also support the Merrick Chamber by attending our Spring Kids Fest and our annual Fall Festival. The revenue from these events provides the scholarship and beautification dollars that we reinvest in our Merrick community.

In addition, we provide many events free of charge each year, including our Halloween Parade and Christmas tree and menorah lighting ceremonies. We also encourage you to vote annually for our Merchant and Professional and Man and Woman of the Year.

If you are a business owner, we urge you to become an active chamber member and take advantage of all we have to offer.

ost days in the summer, someone is using the athletic fields at Brookside School in North Merrick: sports teams playing games, fathers and sons having catches, groups of friends holding batting practice, a single soccer player juggling a ball. Across the field often comes wafting the musical jingle of an ice-cream truck passing through the residential blocks behind the school.

It is a common suburban scene set against the backdrop of two of Merrick’s centerpieces: the community’s much sought-after homes and its topnotch school districts, like the Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District, which has its administration offices at Brookside.

Stretching from North Jerusalem Road in North Merrick south to the peninsulas that jut into Merrick Bay, the community of 34,369 spreads across multiple distinct residential and business areas.

Barry Fox, a local business owner, president of the Merrick Park Homeowners Association and a 42-year resident, described his neighbors as a “middle-class, educated group of people.” He also cited Merrick’s “excellent” schools, proximity to the South Shore’s beaches, ease of access to New York City via the Long Island Rail Road, and the Norman J. Levy Park and Preserve, which in 2000 opened on land converted from a former landfill, as Merrick’s outstanding features.

Merrick was founded in 1643 when British colonist John Smith moved here from Connecticut and bought land from the Merri-auke-ut Indians. The tribe, which was known as Merric, Meroke and Merikoke, provided the name for the community.

Merrick is remembered in those days as a picturesque wilderness of woods, plains, lakes, ponds and a river that ran along its western border. It is described as a rustic paradise.

Also arriving in 1643 were John Carman and the Rev. Robert Fordham, both of whom bought 64,000 acres for $100 and other “trifling considerations.”

England brought Merrick the George Hewlett family in 1649. Many of the Hewletts settled in the community, buying property from Jonathan Smith.

John Smith Jr. built the first home in the area in 1687 near what is now Merrick Road and Central Boulevard. Six generations of Smiths lived there.

Merrick remained a rural community for roughly two centuries. Merrick Path, which ran north to Hempstead and east to Babylon, was Merrick’s first road. In time, its name changed to Babylon Turnpike.

Carrying mail and passengers between Jamaica and Babylon was a stage coach, which came through daily. Samuel Smith built a store on Babylon Turnpike near Meadowbrook Road, which served as a coach stop, general store and post office. The community flagpole was erected there during the Civil War. When the flag was raised, the villagers

The Merricks’ annual Memorial Day parade draws thousands of participants and onlookers.

came from all over to hear battlefront news. Today, the flag is in the collection of the Historical Society of the Merricks.

In 1866, the South Shore Railroad was built through Merrick to Babylon. Charles Fox, a Merrick resident whose home once stood at Merrick Avenue and Merrick Road, was the railroad’s president.

At the turn of the century, summer residents began to appear upon completion of the railroad.

The Long Island Camp Meeting Association was the biggest summer group.

Two young men, Edwin Cray Camman and Richard Peabody Kent, opened the Merrick Library in 1891. An association was formed and incorporated on April 27, 1897, to raise funds to support the library; a building was then erected. At the time, the area’s population was about 500.

World War I accelerated growth in Merrick.

Then, the 1920s hit. Houses went up on all sides, and prices were high. Merrick’s population quickly approached 5,000.

The Merrick Woods development was considered a huge success. The Gables neighborhood, which served as home to many famous actors and actresses, was even more popular. Gables homes accented a “Spanish castle” motif.

The railroad was electrified in 1925. At the same Continued on page 12

Continued from page 10 time, motor vehicles grew more common, particularly after the Sunrise Highway was built out to Amityville circa 1927.

After World War II, the community’s population grew exponentially. Numerous schools, firehouses and houses of worship were added.

In recent years, Merrick’s downtown commerce zone on Merrick Avenue underwent major revitalization. Many businesses refurbished their facades.

Sidewalks were redone. The train station received a complete makeover, as did the Merrick Library.

Since 2006, The Robbie Levine Foundation, a nonprofit organization founded by Merokeans Jill and Craig Levine that donates automated external defibrillators to youth ball fields and funds CPR/AED classes, has each spring held its annual Robbie’s Run, a 5K fundraiser that draws thousands of runners and supporters to Levy-Lakeside School and the streets of south Merrick.

Today, Merrick stands as one of the South Shore’s preeminent communities, with strong home values and highly regarded schools.

The Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District spends $13,000 on a typical student, compared to the state average of $10,963. Ninety-four percent of the district’s graduates attend college, compared with the state average of 74 percent.

Susan Helsinger, an associate broker at Douglas Elliman Real Estate and longtime resident, pointed to the strength of the library, civic organizations and her friendships with neighbors as the community's strong points for her.

“It’s a wonderful place to raise our children, speaking from both a realtor’s point of view and as a resident. The parks are great and safe for children,”

www.liherald.com

Donovan Berthoud/Herald Life

The Lions Club’s third annual “Taste of Merrick,” in which about a dozen local Merrick restaurants and stores offered samples of their menus to roughly 200 guests.

Helsinger said. “I have wonderful friends here. We call ourselves ‘the moms.’ We’ve known each other since our kids were in preschool together, and we still go out for dinner all the time.”

Randy Shotland, a former president of the Merrick Chamber of Commerce who has lived in Merrick his entire life, said that the community has shot up in population since he graduated from high school in 1969, but it still has a “small-town mentality.”

Merrick has “lawyers, doctors, realtors, gyms, food stores, clothing stores,” Shotland said with pride. The chamber “puts on two festivals each year.

We do a Halloween walk and Christmas and menorah lightings. We do a networking meeting for our local business owners.”

Runners got psyched at the starting line of Robbie’s Run in April.

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 roughly 760,000 people. Within the town are 34 unincorporated areas and 22 incorporated villages, 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 council members 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, presiding over all town board meetings and 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 more than 2,100 people. As the town's chief financial officer, 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.
