Mineola, a ‘pleasant village’ for 4 centuries The land now known as Mineola was originally part of Henry Hudson’s original claim in the name of the Dutch East India Company dating as far back as 1609. By the 19th century the Dutch and English settlers worked to clear land for farming to start their life on the Hempstead Plains.

It was in 1858 when this land became known as Mineola, named after an Algonquin Indian Chief, Miniolagamika meaning, “Pleasant Village.” The name was later shortened and altered to “Mineola.”

Mineola was legally incorporated in 1906 and run by a president. The president and Trustees worked to meet the needs of the growing community and later became the judicial and legislative heart of Nassau County. The County Seat found it’s home in Mineola on Friday July13, 1900, Governor Theodore Roosevelt laid the cornerstone of the Nassau County Court House. A celebration was held to commemorate this momentous occasion on the barren five-acre site at the corner of Old Country Road and Franklin Avenue.

Many dignitaries were present to witness this history-making event such as, Fredrick Hicks, Congressman Townsend Scudder, Colonel William Youngs and Supervisors William Jones and Edwin Willits.

Winthrop-University Hospital, originally founded in 1896 by local physicians and residents as Nassau Hospital, was Long Island’s first voluntary hospital. In 1897, it admitted 91patients, performed 27 operations, and reported two births and eight deaths during the first year. The original hospital was constructed in 1900.

Today, Winthrop is a nationally recognized award winning hospital and in 2004 was ranked among the Top 5 Percent of AcuteCare Hospitals in the Country.

Mineola was also a familiar place to many of the most famous pilots in history. The Wright Brothers, Igos Sikorsky, Captain Rene Fonac, and the famed duo of Clarence Chamberlain and Bert Acosta, dubbed “twins of derring-do,” all spent time in Mineola taking advantage of the

rolling grasslands and favorable winds.

On May 20, 1927 at 7:52am, Charles Lindbergh started his historic flight from nearby Roosevelt Field. Thirty-three hours later he landed in Paris and became the first person to complete a solo flight across the Atlantic Ocean.

Main Street was the center of village business as well as a popular meeting place for farmers and the business community alike. The general store offered an array of goods that would fulfill most everyday needs, such as hardware, toys, wool, dry goods, clothing and food. The small glassfronted mail and delivery boxes filled the existing six-foot post office. As the Mineola population grew, the post office was relocated to the Meyer Building on Mineola Boulevard and then twice more to 3rd Street and 2nd Street. It eventually found it’s permanent home on 1st Street and Main Street.

Mineola’s first theatre named Allen’s Hall drew in many early moviegoers to see “the flickers.” Motion picture success drew in other theaters to the area, the most lavish being the Century Opera House. Most theaters had a showing in the morning and in the evening, usually featuring a live pianist who kept up with the action of the movie while playing music that suited the story.

As years passed, Jericho Turnpike was turning into the “main street,” farmland was being sold off and homes and offices were being built. Mineola has continued to be a community of growth and development.

The Village of Mineola has a history of which to be proud. It has become an outstanding residential suburban community that is home to more than 20,000 residents and enjoys a strong local economy.

Summer Uniform Donation Drive

On behalf of Jasmin O'Connell & Family, we would like to thank the EWLL Families who made baseball uniform donations during the 2016 EWLL All-Star game. Jasmin’s family sent the many items collected to the Dominican Republic, where her parents handed them to the poor children in their community of Santiago. The children and coaches were so thankful for the clothing, shoes and equipment - some of the ball players have to play in shorts or jeans because they are too poor to buy baseball attire.

We thank you so much for your generosity!

Post 160 is a group of young adults (fire explorers) ages 14 ( or have completed 8 th Grade) to 18 years old who are interested in the fire service. The Mineola Junior Fire Department are sponsored by the Mineola Fire Department and chartered by the Boy Scouts of America.

What do we do?

Junior fire fighters learn nearly all aspects of basic fire fighting. These include topics such as fire suppression, salvage and overhaul, SCBA (self contained

breathing apparatus) aerial operations, ground ladders, first aid, public relations etc. After demonstrating excellence in all areas of the program the juniors then can join the departments Ride-A-Long Program. Members must have parental permission to participate in this program.

They are allowed to respond to the firehouse and man the trucks to a fire scene.

By responding to fire calls the junior firefighter frees up a qualified senior firefighter to perform other crucial tasks.

While their assistance is an asset to the scene, their primary purpose for going on these calls is to learn first-hand fire ground operations and fire cause investigations. They do not perform actual fire fighting activities. Being a firefighter can be a dangerous job. Strict laws exist to protect minors from hazardous dangers.

The Mineola Fire Department takes safety very seriously during training or real emergencies.

The Mineola Fire Department has re-

cently adopted a seventeen year old rule that allows a junior who has turned seventeen and is entering his senior year in high school to apply for membership in the Mineola Fire Department. A number of our juniors have taken advantage of this ruling and are now members of the fire department. We hope this gives you a little insight on the workings of the Mineola Junior Fire Department.

Board of Trustees President Terence Timlin Carmine Festa Karen Smith Laura Kern Mary Anne Warnecke Russ Sutherland Michael Vezzi

History of the Minela Memorial Library In 1921 a committee of civic-minded citizens formed the Mineola Library Association to begin the work of establishing a community library. Its by-laws called for the appointment of a professional librarian and a membership drive. The Association was offered the free use of a small building and property that were centrally located for the library. A village door-todoor membership drive netted enrollment of 97 members, plus cash and book donations.

The appointed librarian, Mrs. Theodore Schmidt, accepted the job but planned to help only for a year or two. Thirty five years later she retired, after working without pay for the first 26 years.

Mineola’s first public library was officially opened on February 2, 1922. The tiny one-room building located at Jericho Turnpike and Mineola Boulevard soon became known as the “Little Library.”

Heated by a single wood stove, men from the Village would take turns chopping wood and loading the stove.

During the week the library was open for two hours every afternoon, plus two hours three nights a week, and five hours on Saturdays – two

building again went through a much-needed expansion project. Over the following 18 months, the building was expanded to include the addition of dedicated children’s room, an adult reference and reading room with fireplace, public computer terminals, elevator, and outdoor deck.

The reopening of the library

hours in the morning, closed for a lunch period, then three hours in the afternoon.

The Little Library soon proved to be a welcome and popular addition to the Village of Mineola. In 1923, the library’s first full year of operation, 115 adults and 95 children became members and a total of $178.92 was collected in fines. By 1925, the library was in search of a more permanent location. Money was raised to purchase property on the corner of Mineola Boulevard and Banbury Road. The Little Library building was moved to its new location on July 29, 1926. Many members of the community contributed labor and materials and raised money for the necessary improvements.

Information provided by the Mineola Memorial Library

Through the 1930s and 40s the library continued to increase circulation and membership. Open hours increased to 30 hours per week, then later to 48 hours. A Friends of the Library group was organized in 1949 and was instrumental in promoting the library’s services to the community and the need for expanded facilities. In 1954 the Mineola Village Board decided that a War Memorial for the Village would take the form of a new library to be called Mineola Memorial Library.

A site was selected in the municipal park on Marcellus Road, and bonds were issued totaling $337,500 for the building construction. The new Mineola Memorial Library was dedicated on May 30, 1956, and on September 22 of that year Mineola’s Little Library closed its doors for good.

Over the following decades the library continued to expand its membership, circulation, and services.

In 1999 the library

in January 2001 saw the complete transformation of Mineola’s Little Library into a community facility ready for the challenges of the twentyfirst century. The Mineola Memorial Library today is a true reflection of the needs and interests of the village that created it nearly a century ago.

From school house to firehouse Mineola Fire Department has served village residents for nearly 13 0 years On Dec. 8, 1888, a group of men met in a school house on Willis Avenue to discuss the formation of a volunteer fire department in Mineola.

Three weeks later, on Christmas Day, Mineola Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 was formed.

On February 8, 1889, the first regular meeting was held in the school house with 23 members present.

The company rolled to their first fire on April 29, 1889.

A notation in the fire record reads as follows: “barn shed, carriage house and corn crib, property of Caroline L. Smith of Mineola, with entire contents except carriages, consisting of six good horses, three cows, about seven tons of hay, one ton straw, four sets double and two sets single harness, two sleighs, lot potatoes and three barrels vinegar consumed by fire discovered about 1:30 a.m.”

The first Mineola firehouse was built around 1889.

On Jan. 1, 1899, it was chosen as a temporary home of the Nassau County Court. The building also served as a civic center with many village organizations holding their meetings there.

On April 19, 1907, the Mineola Village Board incorporated the Jericho Turnpike Engine and Hose Company No. 1 of Mineola, known as Company No. 2 today.

Two separate and independent fire companies now protect the Village of Mineola.

During the year of 1908, the new company continued to grow. Training standards were set and meetings were held with Mineola Hook & Ladder Company No. 1 (Engine Co. 1 today) for the purpose of electing one chief for both departments.

On March 8, 1910, the village asked the companies if they would let the village use its fire apparatus until the village could take over the equipment.

They approved, provided that the village pay rent.

This began the process of combin-

ing both fire companies to become part of the village government.

Just four years after Mineola became an incorporated village, officials passed a resolution that the two fire companies be reorganized into a village volunteer fire department.

The christening of the Mineola firehouse took place on March 20, 1913.

Seven years later, on March 23, 1920, the village purchased all property, buildings and equipment owned by Jericho Turnpike Engine & Hose Company No. 1 for $1.

Hose Company No. 3 was formally organized on Aug. 22, 1922.

Before Company No. 3’s firehouse was built, the firemen held their meetings either in their own homes, in Company No. 1’s Firehouse on Main Street or in Company No. 2’s Firehouse on Jericho Turnpike.

Company No. 3’s firehouse was erected by the original members of the company in their spare time and opened in 1923.

By 1925, the Company No. 1 firehouse, which also housed the Village Hall, had fallen into disrepair. The Village Board decided to expand Company No. 2’s firehouse, which was renovated with the truck room facing Washington Avenue on the rear of the building.

The existing firehouse was converted into the new Village Hall.

Both fire companies were then housed in the new quarters. The new building was dedicated in 1928 and is know as headquarters.

The Mineola Hotel fire hit the front page of all local newspapers in 1966. One person was found dead in this arson-related fire.

In 1976 and for the second time in its history, the Mineola Fire Department mourned the loss of one of its leaders when Chief Jack Levatino succumbed to a

heart attack. A rescue truck is dedicated to his honor.

The Mineola Junior Fire Department was organized in 1976.

On March 19, 1983 Company No. 3 dedicated its new, larger and more modern quarters, next door to its old firehouse.

The old structure still serves the village as the headquarters for the Mineola Volunteer Ambulance Corps.

In September 1988, the first female firefighter in the department’s 100-year history joined Company No. 3.

At the beginning of the new millennium, the headquarters on Washington Avenue was completely renovated, add-

ing two new bays to house the newer and larger equipment that is needed in today’s firefighting.
