Hi Debra,

You may want to post your query at the Nassau County Board because on January 1, 1899,. the eastern three-quarters of Queens County, the part of Queens that did not become part of New York City on Janaury 1, 1898, seceded and became Nassau County. This area that became Nassau County included the Town of North Hempstead, the Town of Hempstead and the Town of Oyster Bay (includes the Hamlet of Oyster Bay).

I hope this information is useful or, at least, interesting.

Happy Purim*,

Great Falls, MT & Jericho, NY

* One-day rabbinic Festival of Purim (PU-rim, PAWR-im), celebrating the events in the Megillah (m'-GILL-uh) Hadassah (Book of Esther), begins after sundown on Monday, March 9 on the civil calendar.
