On September 23, 1775, a group of patriots living in the northern section of what was then the Town of Hempstead gathered at Cow Neck (Port Washington) and Madna’s Neck(Great Neck) to declare their allegiance to the revolutionary cause.

At the time, the Town of Hempstead stretched from the Long Island Sound to the AtlanticOcean. Politically, it was divided. The northern part of the Town predominantly supportedthe revolution while the southern tier was loyal to England.

Having proclaimed their allegiance to the revolution,the northerners sent their declaration to the Provincial

Congress seeking to become a separate township. Action was delayed by the Britishoccupation; ultimately, however, the New York State Legislature acted on the matter, and in1784 the northern portion of the Town was officially named the Town of North Hempstead.

In celebration of our Town, Supervisor Jon Kaiman and other North Hempstead electedofficials will take hundreds of students on a fun-filled journey through 235 years of Townhistory -- from colonial times through the present. The students will learn how a local law ispassed, participate in historic games and gain an appreciation of the important role ourTown played in the history of our nation!
