History

What is now Port Washington was originally inhabited by the Matinecock Native Americans. [2] [3] European colonists – namely, Dutchmen and Englishmen – settled in the area in 1644, after they purchased land from the Matinecocks. [2] [3] [4] Many of these settlers in modern-day Port Washington and across Cow Neck established farms or large colonial estates. [2] [3] [4] Some of these early settlers belonged to prominent, early Long Island families – including members of the Hewlett, Sands, and Willets families, among others. [2] [5]

In the 1870s, Port Washington became an important sand-mining town; it had the largest sandbank east of the Mississippi River and easy barge access to Manhattan. Some 140 million cubic yards of local sand were used for concrete for skyscrapers in New York City (including the Empire State and Chrysler buildings), in addition to the New York City Subway. [6] In 1998, the sand mines were redeveloped as Harbor Links – a golf course for North Hempstead residents. [7]

In 1895, a group of Port Washington residents lobbied for the Long Island Rail Road to be extend what is now the Port Washington Branch from Great Neck to its present terminus in Port Washington; this request came after the failure of an 1882 attempt to extend the line from Great Neck to Roslyn. The LIRR agreed to build an extension to Port Washington, and the extended line – including the Manhasset and Port Washington stations – subsequently opened on June 23, 1898. [8] [9] The arrival of rail service in Port Washington spurred rapid development in the community. [8] [9]

The Port Washington Line of the New York and North Shore Traction Company's trolley system reached Port Washington in 1907 and opened in 1908; this trolley connected the community with Roslyn and Mineola. [10] [11] [12] [13] These trolleys operated until 1920, when the company collapsed. [10] [11] [12] [13]

In 1908, the Town of North Hempstead opened the Port Washington Town Dock, located along Manhasset Bay. [14] This facility would become a major destination in Port Washington over the ensuing years and decades. [15] [16] [17]

By 1910, the northern portions of the peninsula – including Sands Point, Mott's Point, and Barker's Point – sought to incorporate as villages and thereby split from the rest of Port Washington. Citing concerns over the effects which these developments would have on the rest of the Greater Port Washington area's taxpayers, a movement to incorporate Port Washington proper as the Incorporated Village of Port Washington was born, with a vote on the incorporation taking place in 1912. [18] However, this proposal – like later proposals to incorporate the community – was unsuccessful, and the movement was highly contentious. [2] [19] In the 1912 referendum vote on the matter, the measure to incorporate Port Washington as a village was defeated by nine votes, and local Democratic Party leaders in the community had fiercely rallied against the incorporation plans. [20]

In 1912, Main Street – the main east–west thoroughfare through downtown Port Washington – was renamed accordingly from Flower Hill Avenue, its former name. [21] [22]

In 1916, the Town of North Hempstead proposed erecting a vehicular bridge across Hempstead Harbor, between Bar Beach in Port Washington and Shore Road in Glenwood Landing, citing traffic demand. While this bridge would never be built, one further south – the William Cullen Bryant Viaduct – opened several years later as part of a separate but similar project, in January 1950. [23] [24] [25]

As Port Washington continued to grow in the early 20th century, the need arose for improved law enforcement services in the community. [26] [27] [28] This led to the establishment of the Port Washington Police District – as of 2025 the only special district police department in New York state – in 1921. [26] [27] [28]

In 1930, Port Washington tried to incorporate itself as a city, which would have had the same boundaries as the Port Washington Union Free School District – excluding Sands Point, which had already incorporated itself as a village several years prior. [2] The plan to incorporate as a city ultimately failed when Baxter Estates, Flower Hill, and Manorhaven incorporated themselves as villages in order to retain home rule over their respective areas – events which effectively killed the city incorporation bill. [2] [19] The City of Greater Port Washington ultimately never formed, and the Port Washington CDP remains an unincorporated part of – and continues to be governed by – the Town of North Hempstead to this day. [2] [19]

1930 also saw the establishment of a ferry between Bowman's Point Road (now in the Village of Manorhaven) to New Rochelle in Westchester County via (and across) the Long Island Sound, after the courts ruled in favor of its establishment in a legal dispute over the proposal; the service was established a few months prior to the Manorhaven's incorporation, meaning service originally began in Port Washington proper. [29] [30] [31] [32] This ferry – operated by the Port Washington–New Rochelle Ferry Co., Inc. – would run until 1939, when the Bronx–Whitestone Bridge opened further to the west and rendered the service obsolete, partially due to a lack of sufficient business. [29] [32]

The Port Washington Post Office – commissioned by the United States Government as part of the New Deal – opened in 1935. [33] [34]

In the late 1930s, prior to the opening of the Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia Airport, Port Washington and Manorhaven were home to Pan-American World Airways' New York base for their Yankee Clipper Boeing B-314 flying boats; the waters of Manhasset Bay were ideal for flying boat operations. [35] Common destinations served included London, Southampton (UK), the Azores, and Bermuda. [35]

In 1953, the community's current high school – Paul D. Schreiber High School – opened. [36] It is named in honor of Paul D. Schreiber, who served as the Port Washington Union Free School District's superintendent from 1920 to 1953. [36] [37]

Around 2007, the Town of North Hempstead took ownership of Hempstead Harbor Beach Park from Nassau County. [38] It subsequently turned it and the adjacent, Town-owned park – Bar Beach Town Park – into a single, larger, 60-acre (24 ha) park facility, known as North Hempstead Beach Park. [38] [39]

Etymology

Port Washington's name is a tribute to George Washington – an American Revolutionary War general and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States, who served as the first President of the United States between 1789 and 1797. [2]
