The Dutch and English first settled in the area in 1624. It was formerly called Hyde Park which is one of the oldest and most historic settlements in the United States. The community was named after Anne Hyde, wife of Lt. Gov. George Clark. New Hyde Park became an incorporated village in 1927. Incorporation of the Village brought to the newly elected officials and the people, all the advantages of home rule together with the realization that wisdom is needed to successfully administer sanitation disposal, highway construction, zoning, and the drafting of ordinances to control the activities within the confines of the Village.
