Nassau County (pronounced /ˈnæsɔː/)
is a suburban county on Long Island, east
of New York City in
the U.S. state of New York, within
the New York Metropolitan Area. As of the 2000 census, the population was 1,334,544.
The name of the county comes from an old name for Long Island, which was at one
time named Nassau, after Dutch William of Nassau, Prince of Orange (who later also ruled as King William III of England.) The county colors,
orange and blue, are also the colors of the House of Orange. Nassau's county seat is Mineola.[1][2]
Nassau, together
with Suffolk County to
its immediate east, are generally referred to as "Long Island"
by area residents — as distinct from the New York City boroughs of Queens (Queens
County) and Brooklyn (Kings
County), which are physically on the island's westernmost end. Two cities,
three towns, 64 incorporated villages, and numerous unincorporated
hamlets are located within the county.
In 2008, Forbes magazine released its American Community Survey and named Nassau County number 10 in its list of the top 25 richest counties in
America. This survey was completed before the economic crisis of 2008-2009. The survey
also named Nassau County the second richest county per capita in the
State of New York and the 10th richest in the nation, with a median
household income of $85,994.[3]
The New York Times cited a study by the non-profit group ERASE Racism,
which determined that Nassau, and its neighboring county, Suffolk, are the most racially segregated suburbs in the United States.[4]
Several alternate names had been considered for the
county, including Matinecock (a village within
the county currently has that name), Norfolk (presumably because of the
proximity to Suffolk County), Bryant, and Sagamore.
However, Nassau had the historical advantage of having at one time been
the name of Long Island itself, and was the name most mentioned when the new
county was proposed as early as 1876.
The area now designated Nassau County was originally
the eastern 70% of Queens County,
one of the original 12 counties formed in 1683, and was then contained within
two towns: Hempstead and Oyster Bay.
In 1784, following the American Revolutionary War,
the Town of Hempstead was split in two, when Patriots in the
northern part formed the new Town of North Hempstead,
leaving Loyalist majorities in the Town of Hempstead.
In 1898 the western portion of Queens
County became a borough of the City of Greater New York,
leaving the eastern portion a part of Queens County but not part of the Borough
of Queens. As part of the city consolidation plan, all town and county
governments within the borough were dissolved. The areas not part of the
consolidation included all of the Town of North Hempstead, all of the Town of
Oyster Bay, and most of the Town of Hempstead (excluding the Rockaway Peninsula,
which was separated from the Town of Hempstead and became part of the city
borough). In 1899, following approval from the state legislature, the three
towns were separated from Queens County and the new county of Nassau was
constituted.
In preparation for the new county, in November 1898,
voters had selected Mineola to become the county seat for the new county[5] (before Mineola incorporated as
a village in 1906 and set its boundaries almost entirely within the Town of
North Hempstead), winning out over Hicksville and Hempstead.[6] The Garden City Company (founded
in 1893 by the heirs of Alexander Turney Stewart)[7] donated four acres of land for
the county buildings in the Town of Hempstead, just south of the Mineola train
station and the present day Village of Mineola.[8][9] The land and the buildings have
a Mineola postal address, but are within the present day Village of Garden City,[10] which did not incorporate, nor
set its boundaries, until 1919.
In 1917,[11] the village of Glen Cove was
granted a city charter, making it independent from the Town of Oyster Bay. In
1918, the village of Long Beach was
incorporated in the Town of Hempstead. In 1922, it became a city, making it
independent of the town. These are the only two cities in Nassau County.
The United Nations Security Council was temporarily located in Nassau County from 1946 to 1951. Council meetings
were held at the Sperry Gyroscope
headquarters in the village of Lake Success near
the border with Queens County. It was here on June 27, 1950, that the Security
Council voted to back U.S. President Harry S Truman and send a coalition of
forces to the Korean Peninsula,
leading to the Korean War.
In 1947, William Levitt built his first planned community in Nassau County, in the Island Trees section (later renamed Levittown). (This
should not be confused with the county's first planned community, in general,
which is Garden City). In
later decades, communities such as Wantagh, East Meadow, Massapequa, Massapequa Park,
and Franklin Square began to grow.
During the latter part of the 20th
Century, Nassau County saw an influx of migrants from the five boroughs of New
York City, especially Brooklyn and Queens, who left their urban dwellings for a
more suburban setting. This led to a massive population boom in the county,
especially on the south shore.
In 1994, Federal Judge Arthur Spatt declared the Nassau County Board of Supervisors unconstitutional and directed
that a 19-member legislature be formed.[12] Elections were held and
Republicans won 13 seats and elected Bruce Blakeman as its first Presiding Officer (Speaker).[13] Among the first class were
current legislators Peter J. Schmitt, Judith Jacobs, John Ciotti, Dennis Dunne Sr., Francis X. Becker, Vincent T. Muscarella,
and Current County Executive, Ed Mangano.
In the 1990s,
Nassau County saw huge budget problems, forcing the county to near bankruptcy. The
county government increased taxes to prevent a takeover by the state of New
York. This has led to the county having notoriously high property taxes,
leaving some migrants from New York City, who were seeking a suburban
lifestyle, to move to Suffolk County,
the Hudson Valley, New Jersey, Connecticut or Pennsylvania.
The economy
has been booming and according to the United States Census Bureau,
residents of Nassau County have among the highest per capita wealth in the
country.[citation needed] Nassau County has also experienced heavy urbanization in many areas, such as Hempstead, Freeport, Mineola, and Westbury, leading
some to say that some parts of the county resemble the outer boroughs of New
York City rather than a suburb of it.[citation needed]
The head of the County Governmental
structure is the County Executive, a post created in Nassau County in 1938. The
current county executive is Ed Mangano,
a Republican who
was elected in an upset victory over the prior County Executive Thomas R. Suozzi in 2009. The District Attorney is Democrat Kathleen Rice, who in November, 2005
defeated 30-year incumbent Republican Denis Dillon in an upset victory. The
county comptroller is George Maragos, a Republican, the
county clerk is Republican Maureen O'Connell,
and the county assessor is an appointed position who serves at the pleasure of
the County Executive.
The county legislature has
19 members. There are eleven Republicans,
eight Democrats.
Main article: Nassau County Police Department
County police services are provided by the Nassau County Police Department.
The cities of Glen Cove and Long Beach, as
well as a number of villages are not members of the county police district and
maintain their own police forces. The following village police departments
exist in Nassau County: Centre Island, Floral Park, Freeport, Garden City,
Great Neck Estates, Hempstead, Kensington, Kings Point, Lake Success, Lynbrook, Malverne, Old Brookville,[14] Old Westbury, Oyster Bay Cove,
Rockville Centre and Sands Point. The Port Washington Police Department is not
a village department but is authorized by a special district, the only such
district in New York State[citation needed].
These smaller forces, however, make use of such specialized county police
services as the police academy and the aviation unit. Also, all homicides in
the county are investigated by the county police, regardless of whether or not
they occur within the police district.
In 2006, Village leaders in the county seat of Mineola expressed
dissatisfaction with the level of police coverage provided by the county force
and actively explored seceding from the police district and having the village
form its own police force. A referendum on December 5, 2006, however,
decisively defeated the proposal.[15]
Since the Long Island State Parkway Police was disbanded in 1980, all of Nassau County's state parkways have been
patrolled by Troop L of the New York State Police.
State parks in Nassau are patrolled by the New York State Park Police.
In 1996, the Long Island Rail Road Police Department was consolidated into the Metropolitan Transportation
Authority Police. The MTA Police patrol Long Island Rail Road
tracks, stations and properties. The New York State Department of Environmental
Conservation Police provides enforcement of state
environmental laws and regulations. The State University of New York Police provides
enforcement for SUNY Old Westbury.
The Nassau County Police Department posts the mug shots of
DWI offenders as press releases on their website. This practice has come under
the scrutiny of residents, media, and those pictured in these press releases.
This practice has been criticized as being able to cause potential employees,
students, or public figures their positions.[16]
County
correctional services and enforcement of court orders are provided by the Nassau County Sheriff's Department. New York State Court Officers provide security for courthouses.

Like neighboring Suffolk County,
Nassau County residents primarily supported the Republican Party in national
elections until the 1990s. That decade, it began to shift toward the Democratic
Party. Democrat Bill Clinton carried the county in the presidential elections of 1992 and 1996. Later Nassau voters gave a large
margin of victory to Al Gore in 2000 (19.4%), but John Kerry's
winning margin in 2004 was considerably slimmer (5.6%). In
that election, Kerry won the towns of Hempstead and North Hempstead, but lost
the Town of Oyster Bay.
Democratic strength is chiefly
concentrated in the central, certain southern areas, and northern part of the
county. This includes the south eastern Village of Freeport which is roughly
sixty-eight percent Democrat, central areas near the Village of Hempstead and Uniondale, where
there are large middle-class populations as well as the affluent northern
half of the county. This includes Great Neck, Glen Cove and Roslyn. There are
also pockets of staunch Democrats in the equally affluent Five Towns area
in the southwest part of the county and in Long Beach.
Republican voters are chiefly concentrated in the
more suburban areas of the county. The middle class southeastern portion of the
county is heavily Republican, and communities such as Massapequa, Seaford, Wantagh, Levittown, Bethpage, and Farmingdale are
the political base of Congressman Peter T. King. In
the western portion of the county, wealthy Garden City is
solidly Republican, as is the more middle-class community of Floral Park.
Areas of the county containing large numbers of swing
voters are in East Meadow, Mineola, Oceanside and Rockville Centre.
Long Island's only Republican member of Congress,
Representative Peter T. King, is
from Nassau County. His 3rd District includes heavily populated suburban neighborhoods like Long Beach, Massapequa, Levittown, Hicksville, Seaford, Wantagh, and Farmingdale. But
Nassau County is also home to the popular gun-control advocate, Democrat Carolyn McCarthy,
whose 4th District includes Garden City, Carle Place, Hempstead, Uniondale, East Meadow, Valley Stream, Franklin Square, West Hempstead and portions of the Village of Freeport and Rockville Centre.
McCarthy defeated Republican congressman Dan Frisa in
1996 and has held the seat since.

County's other two congressmen are both Democrats. Representative Gary Ackerman, represents
the 5th District,
which includes the northwestern part of the county, including Great Neck, Sands Point, and Port Washington,
and stretches into northeastern Queens. Steve Israel's 2nd District is
mainly in Suffolk County,
but also includes parts of Plainview, Old Bethpage, Jericho, Syosset, and Woodbury in
Nassau County.
All of Nassau County's state senators were Republicans until February 2007 when Nassau County Legislator Craig Johnson was
elected to the State Senate in a special election in the 7th district. The
Democrats added another seat during the 2008 election, so the Republicans now
have a 7-2 advantage in the State Senate on Long Island. The districts are
drawn so as not to overlap Queens, which supports the Democratic Party more
strongly.
