Great Neck: A special place to live

BY BILL 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.

Cedarmere Museum & Preserve Cedarmere, the country home of prominent 19th-century poet, newspaper editor, and civic leader William Cullen Bryant, is a 7-acre site on the west side of Bryant Avenue in the Village of Roslyn Harbor. The property has a pond, boathouse, house, mill, gardens, and a spectacular landscaped designed by Bryant. Here, Bryant sought sanctuary from the congestion on chaos of the city, where he could rest, work on his poetry, and spend time surrounded by nature.

Originally used as a settlement in the early 17th Century, Richard Kirk, a Quaker farmer, owned the property and in 1787 built the original house. The property passed to William Hicks and, in 1836, to Joseph A. Moulton. William Cullen Bryant purchased the 40 acre property in 1843, naming it Cedarmere after the cedar trees

which ringed the ponds (or “mere” as it was then called). Throughout the 1840s and 1860s, Bryant purchased additional land and expanded the main house.

The original house was altered by Bryant several times with the most extensive renovations taking place in 1860. After his death, the house was passed on to his younger daughter Julia, who in turn sold it to her sister’s son Harold Godwin in 1891. After a house fire in 1902, Godwin rebuilt the home in 1903 keeping the same basic form as the old house but making several changes. Following Godwin’s death in 1931, Cedarmere passed first to his wife and then his daughter Elizabeth Love Godwin, who bequeathed it to Nassau County in 1975.

In honor of the Great Neck Park District’s 100 year Anniversary, in 2016, here is a look at how it all began! The information was obtained by literature from the Great Neck Park District and the Great Neck Historical Society archives.

The Great Neck Park District, the oldest park system in Nassau County and one of the only park districts in New York State, was formed by long-time resident, Roswell Eldridge. Just months before it was established, a New York State law went into effect allowing towns to create park districts as special districts within their borders. It was on Monday, August 14, 1916, that Roswell Eldridge of Great Neck appeared before the Board of the Town of North Hempstead in Manhasset, N.Y. and filed a petition for the establishment of the Great Neck Park District. Its founding mission was to obtain and preserve open space. The community association was to be outside any village or city and supported by taxes on district residents. Creation of the Great Neck Park District was widely supported; ninety percent of the people approached about the petition signed it. In addition, the petitioners collected $200,000 above the necessary one-half of the assessed value of the taxable real property in the proposed district. The petition for the establishment of the Great Neck Park District was then granted; it is comprised of the Village of Great Neck, Great Neck Plaza, Kensington, Thomaston, Kings Point and Russell Gardens. The district originally served 750 families, whereas today the Great Neck Park District serves more than 13,500 families living within its borders.

The first commissioners were appointed for one, two and three years consecutively, thus setting the pattern for the future of three-year elected officials. While the petition was presented by Roswell Eldridge, his wife Louise Eldridge was also committed to creating the Great Neck Park District, and both of them were loyal supporters. Louise was an early commissioner of the Park District; she was also instrumental in opening the first library in Great Neck and the first woman mayor in the

state, serving in Saddle Rock. Louise and Roswell Eldridge led the first acquisition by the Park District. In 1916, the couple and their friends financed the purchase of Hayden’s Coal Yard at the western end of Steamboat Road (where the United Merchant Marine Academy stands today) and transformed the land into a public park and beach. This was the first park operated by the district.

Allenwood Park was obtained in the early 1920’s as was Memorial Field. Soon after, William Gould Brokaw, owner of the Nirvana estate in the present Strathmore area and beyond, sold a piece of his property, between Beach Road and Arrandale Avenue, to the Great Neck Park District. Three and one half more acres were added to the Park District by the Great Neck School District, and the combined property became the Village Green in the Old Village. Renowned landscape architect Beatrix Farrand planned the beautiful Rose Garden on that land. When Roswell passed away in 1927 at age 70, Louise had a bandstand erected in his memory which still stands today.

In 1938 the Village of Kings Point leased Kings Point Park, including 175

at the end Steamboat Road was bought by the United States Merchant Marine Academy. This sale was offset by the purchase of the present Steppingstone Park and Marina from Walter Chrysler Jr. Shortly after 2000, Steppingstone Park was expanded to include land that had been part of the George M. Cohan estate.

After World War II, Great Neck prospered. Many new residents who worked and commuted to Manhattan, asked the town government for a parking facility near the railroad station. In lieu of starting a new agency, the town turned to the Park District to take on the task. The Board agreed and to this day operates 3 parking fields servicing commuters for a nominal fee.

acres of land between Steamboat and Redbrook Roads, to the Park District. The Park District promised to improve the land and developed this former swamp area into a facility that can be enjoyed year round. This beautiful natural preserve was to become a garbage dump had it not been for the fight put up by the local government.

Since then, the 175-acre recreational facility and forest area is used year-round, a favorite destination for walkers, ball and soccer players, picnickers, tennis players, and families enjoying the playground.

By the 1940’s the Park District was busy obtaining land to create neighborhood parks. These included Cutter Mill Park, Firefighters’ Park (formerly Grace Avenue Park) and Wyngate, all of which enhanced the central part of the community that had spread southward from the Old Village to the Plaza area, where commuting to New York City changed from catching the steamboat to catching the train. The playground equipment purchased at the time cost less than a game you would buy in a box today. For instance, the original see-saw for Wyngate Park cost the Park District a meager $8.55!

In 1942, the bathing beach property

Parks were added to the District in the early 1960’s and ‘70’s including Upland (1963), Lakeville (1966), Ravine (1968), Manor (1970) and Thomaston (1978). In 1964 the Parkwood Sports Complex was constructed with a pool and rink. Since then, several renovations have been made including enclosure of the rink (1970) and the expansion of the pool which is now called the Parkwood Family Aquatic Center. Parkwood Indoor Tennis Center was built in 1991. After the September 11, 2001, the ice-skating rink was renamed the Andrew Stergiopolous Ice Rink, in honor of Andrew Stergiopoulos, a Great Neck resident who grew up playing hockey at the rink, and who perished in the horrific attack.

Great Neck House is the Park District’s community center. It was acquired in 1973 and was the beginning of a new wave of expansion during the ‘70’s. The building is an English Tudor style structure which was built by Roswell Eldridge at the turnof-the-century, as the original location of the Great Neck Library. He made sure to stipulate that if and when the library no longer housed the building, it must be used by the community and not sold for private use. Today, the programs and facilities at Great Neck House have become a vital and integral part of the Great Neck community.

The Peninsula Club property in Thomaston was acquired in the 1990’s and now contains a much-loved dog park. The Village Green was in the midst of a refurbishing with a new fountain being installed, when a microburst in June 2010 destroyed dozens of trees in the Village Green in less than five minutes. Incredibly, within just a few days the park was cleared of debris and declared safe, though the devastation was painful to see. However, soon after a program of replanting was well under way. The revitalization of the Village Green included the addition of the all-abilities PlayGarden, a new Veteran’s Memorial and beautification of the Rose Garden.

The Park District continues to carry out the mission of Louise and Roswell Eldridge. Today the programs, events and facilities have become a vital and integral part of the Great Neck community.
