History

The Great Neck and Port Washington Railroad, a subsidiary of the Long Island Rail Road, built what is today known as the Port Washington Branch through the community in 1898; Plandome became a flag stop until it received a station in 1909. ^{[3] [4] [5] [6]} The original station building suffered a serious fire in January 1987, and was rebuilt along with a platform lengthening and refurbishment by 1990. ^{[5] [6] [7]}

The Village of Plandome was incorporated in 1911 as the Plandome Land Company began to develop the village itself, though some homes, farmhouses, and mills had been built in the area in prior decades. Plandome, like the surrounding villages Plandome Manor and Plandome Heights, derives its name from the Latin 'Planus Domus', meaning plain, or level home. ^{[8] [9]}

The Willets Farmhouse, circa 1810, is still extant on Willets Lane. It was built by brewer George Willets of the Willets family of Cow Neck. The house was recently restored and is not currently landmarked. The Almeron and Olive Smith House at 50 South Drive is dated to 1907 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006. ^[10]

The Reconstructionist Synagogue of the North Shore, located on Plandome Road within the village.
