The village was settled before the American Revolution and during the War of Independence; much of the land was occupied by British troops. It was named for the Cedarhurst Company which bought land here in 1887. The former and merged names were Ocean Point and Near Rockaway. During nineteenth century, the first major increase in population came after the Civil War with the extension of the Long Island Railroad to the Rockaway Peninsula. Many establishments were also constructed just like a newly-built post office and the same time, Ocean Point was renamed into Cedarhurst. According to residents, the village took its name from the grove or ‘hurst’ of cedar trees near the village post office and became incorporated on September 16, 1910.
