History & Heritage

New Hyde Park's rich history dates back to 1683 when Thomas Dongan received a land grant encompassing the area. In 1715, the land was renamed "Hyde Park" by George Clarke in honor of his wife, Ann Hyde. To distinguish it from another Hyde Park in upstate New York, the area was renamed "New Hyde Park" in 1871 and was incorporated as a village in 1927. (New Hyde Park)
