Great Neck: A special place to live BY B I LL SAN ANTONIO When the Native American tribe of the Mattinecock first settled in what is now northwest Nassau County hundreds of years ago, they called the region “Menhaden-Ock,” likely due to the large fish population that swam the surrounding waters. Legend has it that when European settlers later arrived in the 1640s, “Menhaden-Ock” became “Madnan’s Neck,” after local woman Anne “Nan” Hutchinson unsuccessfully tried to take over modern-day Kings Point.

Her vicious temper even earned her the nickname “Mad Nan.” But before long, another name emerged that has come to define the area in the latter centuries - Great Neck. The Gold Coast community became a staple of the lavish parties and high-class North Shore living during the Roaring Twenties, with Kings Point providing the backdrop for F. Scott Fitzgerald’s celebrated 1925 novel, “The Great Gatsby,” as West Egg, countering the posh East Egg of Port Washington’s Manorhaven. Great Neck, to Fitzgerald, symbolized the era’s decadence,

seeping from New York City to its surrounding suburbs as America hurtled toward seemingly inevitable depression. Incidentally, Great Neck is among the first communities one encounters when entering Long Island. Occupying approximately 1.4 square miles, its nine villages and four unincorporated areas have long been a hot bed for economic and housing growth. While its permanent Manhattan headquarters were being constructed in the 1940s, the United Nations took up residency in Great Neck, further diversifying an area borne of Native

Americans and reared by the Dutch and English. Today, Great Neck has become known primarily for its myriad of Jewish heritages, beginning with the Second World War’s influx of Ashkenazi Jews and later an influx of Iranian Jews fleeing the 1979 Islamic Revolution as well as, more recently, the Orthodox, Reform and Conservative sects. And aside from the wealthy Jay Gatsby and his confidante Nick Carraway, Great Neck has also been home to plenty of beloved celebrities, from comedy legends Sid Caesar and the Marx Brothers to Olympic figure skaters Sarah and Emily Hughes and “60 Minutes” correspondent Bob Simon, among others. With its 35-minute train ride to Manhattan, and proximity to the Q10 and Q46 New York City bus lines, it’s no wonder Great Neck has also become a convenient base for the rich and famous, or a logical location for developers to jumpstart the real estate market. The advent of telephone service out to Great Neck and the birth of the Long Island Railroad in the mid 1920s made the Gold Coast more accessible than ever before, sparking suburban expansion decades before Levittown was established on the back of the G.I. Bill. Large-scale developments

were planned and constructed, with many low-income residents lured to occupy them. But as the Great Depression hit, so too were other projects in development, halting the growth of the newly-incorporated Village of Great Neck Plaza, which is now considered the epicenter of the community. Just as Great Neck has endured hard times, it continues to work toward a brighter tomorrow. The Great Neck School District has long been regarded among the best in the northeast, from a 1952 Life Magazine profile about progressive classroom habits to the Intel Science Talent Search and National Merit Scholarship finalists and semifinalists that seem to emerge every year. The Great Neck Public Library is amid a major renovation of its Main Branch, funded by a $10.4 million bond approved by voters. Great Neck residents also play a major role within the Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County and New York state governments. They’re the doctors, nurses and administrators that run the North Shore-LIJ Health System. They run businesses and teach your children. But, perhaps most significantly, they’re the ones who will ensure that Great Neck’s future is as illustrious as its past.
