Editing Manorhaven, New York (section)

== History ==
Manorhaven was incorporated as a village in 1930, after news was spread that Port Washington was planning on incorporating itself as a city.<ref name=":81" /> The majority of residents in what would ultimately become the Village of Manorhaven wished to retain home rule, leading to a push to incorporate and a referendum on the matter being held that year; the majority of the prospective village's voters approved of the proposal by voting in favor of it, thus officially establishing Manorhaven as an incorporated village.<ref name=":81">{{Cite book|last=Winsche|first=Richard|title=The History of Nassau County Community Place-Names|date=October 1, 1999|publisher=Empire State Books|isbn=978-1557871541|location=[[Interlaken, New York]]|pages=}}</ref>
