History

Stewart Manor had been called Sunrise Gardens between 1925 and 1927, after a real estate development in the area. ^[2] Residents changed the name to Stewart Manor in 1927. ^{[2] [3]} The name reflects the community's proximity to the Stewart Manor station on the Long Island Rail Road in the adjacent village, Garden City, which is named after Alexander Turney Stewart. ^[3]

Stewart Manor incorporated as a village in 1927. ^{[2] [3]}

The Stewart Manor Municipal Building, which houses the village's government and contains its firehouse, was erected in 1936. ^[4] The building was expanded in 1987 and again in 2002. ^[4]
