History

The name of Saddle Rock Estates reflects the fact that it is located adjacent to the Incorporated Village of Saddle Rock. ^[2] However, Saddle Rock Estates has never been a part of that village, and the hamlet merely took its name from its incorporated neighbor. ^[2]

In 1941, residents were successful in gaining permission to have the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District expand into their hamlet as part of an extension project. ^[3] At the time, the then-proposed expansion project was estimated to cost $140,000 (1941 USD). ^[3]

In the summer of 1946, the County of Nassau began work on closing the Old Mill Pond Brook and placed it into a boxed-in culvert. ^[4] Residents had requested for Nassau to place the brook into a culvert since 1943, and cited that the brook often caused road washouts and basement floods. ^[4]
