The colonial origins of New Hyde Park BY H OWA R D K R O P L I C K Former Town of North Hempstead Historian Thomas Dongan was born in Castletown, Ireland in 1634 of a very old Catholic family. His brother William was made Viscount Dongan in 1661 and Earl of Limerick in 1685. Dongan entered the French army at an early age and made colonel in 1674 and recalled to England in 1677. In 1682 Dongan became New York’s fourth Royal Governor. One of Dongan’s first official acts was to convene the Assembly of Community Representatives from New York and Southern New England (then part of the New York Province). The 1683 assembly drew up the “Charter of Liberty and Privileges” which became the basis for the New York State Constitution. The assembly created the counties of New York State. Long Island was divided into three counties: Kings,Queens and Suffolk. Present day North Hempstead and Hempstead were part of Queens County which included Queens and Oyster Bay. Dongan also set up the Queens County Courthouse in what is now Jericho Turnpike and Marcus Avenue in Garden City Park Soon after the 1683 assembly, the towns of Flushing and Hempstead presented Dongan with a gift of land south of Success Pond. At the Nov. 12, 1684 Hempstead Town Board meeting, Dongan was gifted 200 acres of “woodland” adjoining the 400 acres given to him by the Town of Flushing. The large property,later spanning 672.5 acres, would become known as the Dongan Farm. The Dongan Farm was located west of Lakeville Road from south of Lake Success down to Jericho Turnpike. This 1918 map of the property was drawn by Frederick Van Wyck for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle. Dongan built a manor on the west side of Lakeville Road in the area now about 1,000 feet north of Hillside Avenue. An anti-Catholic aristocratic revolution pushed James II off the British throne in 1688. As a result, Dongan lost his governor-

ship and “retired to his farm in Hempstead.” Following a warrant for his arrest, Dongan escaped to New Jersey and then to Boston. Dongan returned to England in 1691. Upon his brother’s death in 1698,Thomas Dongan became the Earl of Limerick, although the Dongan land had already been confiscated by the Crown. Following Dongan’s death on Dec. 15, 1715,the Dongan Farm and manor were inherited by his nephews Thomas and Walter Dongan. In 1724,the heirs sold the Dongan estate to George Clark. Born in 1676 in Somersetshire, England, Clark was a nephew of William Blathwait who held significant power over colonial appointments. After practicing law in Dublin, he came to America in 1702 as Secretary of the Province of New York. While visiting England in 1705, he married Anne Hyde, who was related to Queen Anne and Lord Cornbury who was then governor of the Province of New York. Clark would become a member of the Provincial Council in 1716 and served as lieutenant governor from 1736 to 1743. To honor his wife (who died in 1740), Clark named his Long Island estate purchased from the Dongan heirs Hyde Park. At first the name referred just to the Clarke property, but after he returned to England in 1745, it was used for the entire area. Although the Clark property was sold off and sub-divided into several farms, the area for the next 165 years was referred to as Hyde Park. In 1871,John C. Christ and Phillip J. Miller applied to the Post Office Department for establish a post office in Hyde Park. The postal authorities refused to allow them to use the name since Hyde Park had been recently assigned to a Dutchess County village, later the birthplace of Franklin D. Roosevelt. The revised name New Hyde Park was approved by the postal authorities and the Long Island Rail Road changed the name of its station in March 1871. New Hyde Park became incorporated as a village on Aug. 17,1927.

/N ´E #OVER The Institute was established by a group of benefactors as a shelter for homeless older people. From a single room in a private house in East Harlem, the group, incorporated as the Harlem House of the Daughters of Israel in 1914, moved to a three-story brownstone at 32 East 119th Street, and then, in 1925, to

an eight-story building at 1260 Fifth Avenue in Manhattan. Enlarged facilities enabled Parker’s forerunner to care for increasing numbers of immigrants and other New Yorkers who sought assistance. For more information about their history, visit www.parkerinstitute.org

South Floral Park Historical Highlights · South Floral Park is proudly known as one of the first racially integrated communities in Long Island. · When first established, the mode of transportation was trolley cars that ran up and down Hempstead Turnpike. It would cost $.15 to get to Manhattan. · The Lily Theatre on Jericho Turnpike would cost $.25 for an all-day show; the theatre is now a retail space. · Adams Street was fondly called Lover’s Lane. A date back then would cost a gentleman $1.00. · There were 2 stores in our village: a deli on Louis Avenue and Emma Street owned by the Rutgers, and Poppa Smith’s on Louis Avenue and Tennessee Street. · The original firehouse was located on Bertha Street and Roquette Avenue. In 1930, the fire garage and meeting room was moved to Roquette Avenue. The first chief was Fredrick Kesslick and in 1940 the fire truck was a Model T Ford. By this time, the Ladies’ Auxiliary was in full swing. In 1984, the village constructed a new modern fire department. · National politics heightened the air of civil defense during the war and John Trinker, Jr. was in charge of Auxiliary Police Unit 103. We had a two-man police force in 1931 and the holding jail cell was the ladies’ bathroom. · In 1942 the Zoning Board of Appeals was created which still serves the village today. · A cast iron bell made in 1875 weighing about 75 pounds was used in the village prior to its incorporation. It was used to alert the volunteers and was placed on Kingston Avenue in 1915. In 1973, the bell was placed as a permanent monument on Arthur Avenue dedicated to the volunteer fireman in what is now known as Firemen’s Memorial Park. · In 1994 village elects the first woman Mayor · In 2006 village elects the first Hispanic Mayor · In 2010 village elects the first Black Mayor Information provided by Village of South Floral Park. www.southfloralpark.org

HIST0RICAL BUILDINGS

Printing House of the Mayflower Publishing Company The Printing house of the Mayﬂower Publishing Company was part of a complex of buildings that John Lewis Childs had constructed to print the 150 + catalogs for his seed business as well as his monthly magazine , The Mayﬂower. This beautiful brick building was built in 1886 and located just north of the Long Island Rail Road tracks several feet and freight trains loaded with huge rolls of paper weighing tons would be unloaded from the

trains that stopped on the tracks. Many windows were part of the facility to allow natural light in as well as circulate air for the employees. Decades later the building became Ajax Buildings & Rooﬁng Supply Company and was demolished in 1960 when the railroad tracks and train station was elevated. The land it was on at the end of South Tyson Avenue is now the parking lot for The Harrison restaurant (formerly known as Koenig’s).

Information on this page provided by Walter Gosden, historian for the Incorporated Village of Floral Park and founder of the Floral Park Historical Society.

Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church Completed in 1924, Our Lady of Victory Catholic Church is located between Plainﬁeld Avenue and Bellmore Street . It was built on property that was once farm land and an early farmhouse was demolished when the church was constructed. The Parish school and convent were added to the south part of the church in 1930.

Floral Park Post Office The post office building seen here was completed in 1936 . For many decades the post office was located in the Tyson Building just a block to the east ,in a store front. this building was built on property once owned by John Lewis Childs whose mansion was just across the street to the right in the photograph. Just opposite the building is the Floral Park Railroad station . In 1963 this facility became to small to meet the demands of the volume of mail for the village and a new post office was built on Tulip Avenue a half mile further north. The village

of Floral Park acquired the building and property in 1964 and converted the premises to become the new location for the village Library.

FLORAL PARK HISTORY

Floral Park “Home of Flowers” The history of Floral Park can be traced to 1874 when 17-yearold John Lewis Childs came to the hamlet known as East Hinsdale. The community at the time was part of Queens County, consisted of a small group of houses, one store, the Hinsdale Postt Office and a railroad sta-tion. In 1899,, the County off Nassau wass formed and d Floral Park be-came part of it.. Childs beecame an emmployee of C. o L. Allen, who er was a grower nd of flowers and seeds. After a nyear of apprennt ticeship, he went ss into business for himself. He all rented a small nd track of land and d began a seed and bulb business. He advertised his products in a one-page circular, thus starting the first seed catalog business in America. Over the next five years his business grew. Childs purchased land in East Hinsdale and Plainfield. Eventually, his enterprise would include hundreds of acres of gardens, several buildings and greenhouses. His publishing company, Mayflower Press, printed mil-

lions of catalogs that were sent to thousands of customers worldwide. Childs realized that mail-order sales of bulbs, seeds and plants would bring in the most revenue. He established the Floral Post Office but “Floral” was used elsewhere in New York State so the name of the post office was changed to Floral Park Post Office, and in 1899, the railroad similarly changed the name of its station. The Village of Floral Park was formally incorporated on October 15, 1908. Two days later, 175 votes elected John Lewis Childs as Presid l dent, along with two Trustees, George F. Dowling and John F. Klein. With the population increasing in 1910 to almost 800 people, a proposition was submitted to village voters recommending the addition of two trustees. It was voted down until 1922, when it was again submitted and passed. The title of President was changed to Mayor to 1927.

History of the Floral Park Public Library The community’s desire for a public library was evident in 1916. Funds were raised but it wasn’t until the Parent Teacher’s Association and community members in 1923 held a very successful tea that the idea became a reality. The guests were asked to bring “two books”. Many brought more than two books. The Village provided $1500. In addition, monetary gifts were accepted. The first library was located on South Tyson Avenue in the Knights of Columbus building which later became Koenig’s Restaurant and today Harrison Restaurant. The first year the library welcomed 768 borrowers and had circulation of 13,500 books.

constructed Floral Park Village Hall. The entrance to the Library was located where the Police Department entrance is today. Pictured is the word “Library” which was etched in concrete and hidden from view until recently when a restoration project revealed it. Above the entranceway is a concrete medallion with an open book displayed most likely installed at the time the library signage was created.

In 1936 the Floral Park Public Library (chartered in 1941) was housed in the west wing of the newly

The library was relocated in 1964 when the Village obtained the U.S. Post Office property at the corner of Caroline Place and Tulip Avenue.

History of the Hillside Public Library The Hillside Public Library is a school district library serving the New Hyde Park Union Free School District #5.The Hillside Public Library was first charted by New York State in 1961 where the library was housed in a wing of the Manor Oaks School. In 2003, voters approved a bond referendum for the purchase of the Kismet Temple building and the renovation of the building and site as a new public library facility. The library celebrated its 10th year anniversary in the new building this past March. Hillside Public Library is a place where everyone can go to improve their lives, where all generations are valued and have the opportunity to learn and expand their horizons.

SOUTH FLORAL PARK HISTORY

Village of South Floral Park History In 1643, on the 4th of July, a tribal chief put his mark on the deed for the land that would one day be known as Elmont. He negotiated with the Reverend Richard Delton and a group of English colonists for the purchase of the Hempstead Plains. This treaty stated that the land was to be enjoyed by the settlers and their heirs, forever, freely, firmly, quietly and peacefully. The purchase also included the areas known today as part of Valley Stream, Rosedale, Laurelton, and a good portion of Springfield Gardens, along with Bellerose. It was divided among the 66 original settlers, two of which were Thomas Foster & his brother Christopher. The Foster brothers named their part of the huge land purchase Foster’s Meadow. It was a long, flat land with endless green fields, great for farming, raising sheep, and hunting the wild game that inhabited the flatlands. Soon thereafter, the Foster brothers sold off sections to some farm families. In a ten-year period the population of Foster’s Meadow had only risen to eighteen families although it was a town filled with a network of old Indian trails, toll houses, & trolley lines that ran down a deserted Hempstead Turnpike. It wasn’t until the 1800’s that some real change took place. German farmers from Brooklyn made a journey to Foster’s Meadow to work the vast farmlands. In the late 1800’s a plank road was built on the area that is now Hempstead Turnpike, signaling a large rise in population. The planks for the old plank road were cut from local trees at a sawmill near what is now Thyben’s Saddlery. Additional growth was evident with the original schoolhouse built in 1865 on Elmont Road, now occupied by the Elmont Fire Department, to where children were driven by horse and buggy. As enrollment increased, South Floral Park children went to Belmont Blvd. School, now known as Clara H. Carlson, in honor of a dedicated educator. Again, the number of families increased and Covert Avenue School was constructed. (Later, in 1954, Stewart Manor School was constructed and to this day remains the school

our children attend from K-6 th grade.) The village’s growth slowly continued and in 1918 the United Methodist Church of South Floral Park was built. The first pastor leading the congregation was Edgar Jackson who served from 1918-1922. Pastor Gustave Lass was leading a faithful congregation at the time of our incorporation. The church remains an integral and vibrant part of our community and it was later declared a historical site by Nassau County Planning Commission in 1976. In 1925, we saw the inception of a vision. A vision wide in scope and varied in purpose that would bear long reaching fruit; fording the gap from horse drawn trolley to state of the art technology while keeping the vision intact; the integrity unswerving in the pursuit of the American dream. And in that year, we became incorporated in 1925 as the Village of Jamaica Square, because residents wanted their own government ruling on local issues that would apply solely to them. Until then, the village was mostly dirt roads and asparagus and potato farmland, with well water and outhouses, and no streetlights or electricity. William J. Ruppert was the first mayor (1925 – 1933) & while in office, the residents then totaling 600, agreed to rename the village in 1931 to South Floral Park. The adoption was signed and this newlycreated South floral park village ran northeast of Jamaica square from Chelsea to Tennessee Street and from Memphis Avenue to Arthur Avenue. Additionally, seven block east and west avenues by four blocks north and south streets. Kingston Avenue area was a cow and sheep grazing field where one would go to get fresh milk. And even though it was developing with the installation of power lines and water pipes, men still hunted rabbits and the area was a secluded place for summer homes. Also, under Ruppert’s administration, the first firehouse was built which was later updated with the construction of the new village hall and fire house. The fire department was then-called

the Jamaica Square Chemical & Hose Company #3 and the Ladies’ Auxiliary was created to support them by hosting fundraisers, setting up aid stations, and work events for seniors and children. William Hand (1933-1939) and William Sweeney (1939-1942) followed as mayors and in 1942 mayoral duties were passed to Barney Strup until 1966. By this time, the village consisted of 150 homes on 64 acres of land and it was under his direction and acquisition of a grant that the first village hall was built in 1953; and also the Highway Department and the Village Justice Court. To date, he is the longest-running mayor in office. William J. Hoffman was the next village mayor from 1966-1971. South Floral Park’s periodic newsletter, The Villager, debuted under the editorship of Mayor Hoffman. Next, was Mayor James Lorenzo from 1971-1990. Under Mayor Lorenzo’s administration, the Firemen’s Memorial Park was dedicated in 1974; the Save Our Community Coalition began; curbing, sidewalks, and road-paving projects started; and new technology and computers were brought in to the village hall. In addition, our current village administrator, Sally Ponce, was appointed by Mayor Lorenzo, and has served in the operation of day to day activities for 27 years. Additionally, in 1989, communityminded residents formed the Civic Association with Elva Soto as president. In addition to creating the Armed Forces Day Celebration in the village, the Civic Association erected a monument in 1991 on the village hall lawn dedicated to all those brave men & women who have served our country and “especially to those who have made the supreme sacrifice”. By 1990, the village’s first woman mayor was elected and held office until 2002. Mayor Arlene McMullen had been a dedicated trustee before her run and afterwards served as The Villager’s editor until present-day. While Mayor McMullen was in office, South Floral Park and the neighboring three villages (Floral Park, Stewart Manor, and Bellerose) started a joint venture in developing the 4-Village Studio. Within a few years, the

dream of having an exclusive cable channel for the four villages became a reality. Toni Warren became the liaison on the Cable Committee and she continues to volunteer for the network today. In 2001, during the most trying time in our nation’s history, the residents of South Floral Park once again showed how willing they were to give of themselves. The days following September 11, were tragic ones for everyone. Our firefighters and paramedics showed the true spirit of the volunteerism as they worked tirelessly at the ravaged site of the World Trade Center. History was made a second time in 2002 with the election of Angel Soto, South Floral Park’s first Hispanic mayor. Mayor Soto, a very active member of the community, had served as Chairman of the Nassau County Emergency Management Office and Chairman of the Water Authority of Western Nassau. While in office, he arranged for a memorial site dedicated to the late Mayor Lorenzo and he began a project to facilitate the installation of a generator for the village hall and fire department buildings in case of any emergency power outages. In 2010, Geoffrey N. Prime made history again in being elected the first black mayor of South Floral Park. Under Mayor Prime’s administration, the installation of the generator was completed and the village’s website was created and launched. This website will prove to be a direct tie to the residents & provide them with an abundance of village information for every-day living. The village anxiously awaits Mayor Prime’s upcoming achievements. In view of the many changes, the Village has prospered and grown since 1925--Always guided by the same vision, the same hopes, and the same dedication. This, making the Village of South Floral Park a true mark in the pages of history that celebrates the achievements of the American Dream. Let us go forth and continue to make our village a great place to live. Information provided by Village of South Floral Park. www.southfloralpark.org

FLORAL PARK HISTORY

The history of Floral Park’s founder, John Lewis Childs John Lewis Childs, the founder of Floral Park was born in Jay Maine on May 13, 1856. At seventeen he wrote a letter to Mr. C. W. Allen, an importer and grower of plants and flowers in what was then the hamlet of East Hinsdale, Queens, on the Hempstead Plains of Long Island, to see if there was a “situation” available in his gardens or green-houses. His letter impressed Mr. Allen. Childs worked for Mr. Allen as an apprentice for a year and then rented a few acres of land nearby and began a business as a seed man and florist. He created the first ever seed catalog in 1875. In five years, after purchasing his own property, his business, the John Lewis Childs Seed Company, grew rapidly necessitating a railroad stop. The train station was first known as East Hinsdale and renamed Floral Park, to Childs’ credit. For a mile, or more,

fields of bright colored flowers lined the train tracks. Thus the telling names ascribed to Floral Park – “Home of Flowers,” Land of Flowers” and “Park of Flowers.” Childs became known around the globe as a man devoted to the “cultivation of flowers.” It was not long before a post office was needed to accommodate Childs’ fabulous enterprise of giant proportions which would flourish for 50 years. He had hundreds of loyal employees. In 1889 he was receiving 10,000 orders for plants and seeds a day. In 1909 he expanded his business to eastern Long Island to support his wholesale business and to grow plants and seeds for his retail mail order business. He purchased 1,000 acres near St. James and named it Flowerfield. He built a large bulb house and planted acres

of ﬂowers, plants and shrubs. It was dubbed “The World’s Biggest Flower Bed.” Childs’ grand publishing house in Floral Park printed 500,000 copiously illustrated catalogues that were mailed out twice a year to consumers worldwide. Each year he published 300,000 copies of

“The Mayflower” magazine with 32 pages of information for the average person who wanted to learn about floriculture and gardening. Another of his publications was the “Schoolmate,” a children’s magazine with natural history stories. Childs was active in the movement to construct the Floral Park School in 1884 which would later bear his name as a tribute to his good works. In 1894 he was elected to the New York State Senate and would become a staunch friend of Governor Theodore Roosevelt. When Floral Park was incorporated in 2008, Childs served as the first president of the village. By 1910 Childs owned the world’s most complete private collection of North American mounted birds and their nests and eggs and had a natural history library of over 1,000 books. For three years

he was the editor and publisher of a magazine about birds titled “The Warbler.” In addition, he amassed a huge collection of minerals, including very rare specimens. In later years his daughter Norma Childs Schwieters wrote about her father saying that he “was a man whose worldly success was phenomenal, but whose ﬁnancial gains were used to spread beauty and happiness throughout the world through his love of ﬂowers.” On March 5, 1921, John Lewis Childs passed away in his sleep on a train due in Grand Central Station that morning. He was returning from Pasadena, California where he had land known as the Old Paradise Nurseries. He was an extraordinary citizen of America and without question the “Father of Floral Park.” Information and photo provided by the Floral Park Historical Society.
