'''Manhasset''' is an affluent [[Hamlet (New York)|hamlet]] and [[census-designated place]] (CDP) in [[Nassau County, New York|Nassau County]], on the [[North Shore (Long Island)|North Shore]] of [[Long Island]], in [[New York (state)|New York]], United States. It is considered the anchor community of the Greater Manhasset area. The population was 8,176 at the time of the 2020 census.

As with other unincorporated communities in New York, its local affairs are administered by the town in which it is located, the [[North Hempstead, New York|Town of North Hempstead]], whose [[North Hempstead Town Hall|town hall]] is in Manhasset, making the hamlet the [[Seat of government|town seat]].

==Etymology==
[[File:Manhasset Valley Park jeh.jpg|thumb|275px|[[Manhasset Valley Park]], formerly a minor harbor]]
The name Manhasset was adopted for the community in 1840. It is most likely the anglicized rendition of the name of a nearby [[Native Americans in the United States|Native American]] tribe<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=e_IH2lYdHecC&dq=manhasset+name+origin&pg=PA294|page=294|title= A History of Long Island: From Its First Settlement by Europeans to the Year 1845, with Special Reference to Its Ecclesiastical Concerns|year=1845|publisher=R.

==History==
The [[Matinecock (tribe)|Matinecock]] had a village on [[Manhasset Bay]].<ref name=":1" /><ref name="sintsink" /> These Native Americans called the area Sint Sink, meaning "place of small stones".<ref name=":1">{{cite web|url=http://www.manhassetbayprotectioncommittee.org/historical_background.htm |title=Historical Background of Manhasset Bay |publisher=Manhasset Bay Protection Committee |access-date=2012-06-13}}</ref><ref name="sintsink">{{Cite book |last1=Association |first1=New York State Historical |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=i9sTAAAAYAAJ&dq=%22Sint+Sink%22&pg=RA1-PA95 |title=Proceedings of the New York State Historical Association: ... Annual Meeting with Constitution and By-laws and List of Members |last2=Meeting |first2=New York State Historical Association |date=1906 |publisher=The Association |language=en}}</ref> They made [[wampum]] from [[oyster]] shells. In 1623, the area was claimed by the [[Dutch West India Company]] and they began forcing English settlers to leave in 1640. A 1643 land purchase made it possible for English settlers to return to [[Cow Neck Peninsula|Cow Neck]] (the peninsula where present-day [[Port Washington, New York|Port Washington]], Manhasset, and surrounding villages are located.).<ref name="aronson">Aronson, Harvey, ed. ''Home Town Long Island''. (Newsday, 1999). {{ISBN|1-885134-21-5}}.</ref>

Manhasset Bay was previously known as Schout's Bay (a [[schout]] being roughly the Dutch equivalent of a sheriff), Martin Garretson's Bay (Martin Garretson was the Schout at one point), and later Cow Bay or Cow Harbor.<ref name="sintsink" />  Cow Neck was so called because it offered good grazing land. By 1659, there were over 300 cows and 5&nbsp;mi (8&nbsp;km) fence separating Cow Neck from the areas to the south. The settlers came to an agreement that each of them could have one cow on the neck for each section of fence the individual had constructed. The area was more formally divided among the settlers when the fence was removed in 1677. Manhasset took on the name Little Cow Neck, Port Washington was known as Upper Cow Neck.<ref name="aronson" />

During the [[American Revolutionary War|American Revolution]], Little Cow Neck suffered at the hands of the [[British Army during the American Revolutionary War|British military]]; numerous structures and properties, such as the 1719 [[Quakers|Quaker]] Meeting House, were burned, seized, or damaged. The [[North Hempstead, New York|Town of North Hempstead]] separated from the [[Hempstead (town), New York|Town of Hempstead]] in 1784 because the South, inhabited mainly by [[Church of England]] people, was loyal to the king. The Northern communities and villages, dominated by Yankee [[Congregationalist]]s supported independence.<ref name="aronson" />

In 1801, it cost two cents to travel between [[Roslyn, New York|Roslyn]] and Spinney Hill on the [[New York State Route 25A|North Hempstead Turnpike]], the newly opened toll road (now Northern Boulevard).<ref name="aronson" />

The Manhasset name was adopted in 1840 and comes from the native word "Manhanset", roughly meaning "the island neighborhood".<ref>{{Cite web|title=Historic Shelter Island|url=https://www.shelterislandchamber.org/historic-shelter-island|access-date=2020-08-10|website=Shelter Island Chamber of Commerce|language=en-US}}</ref> Dairy farming was still a major endeavor, but the oyster industry was also on the rise. In 1898, the [[Long Island Railroad]] arrived, bringing with it wealthy New Yorkers looking for country homes with easy transportation to more urban areas of New York City.<ref name="aronson" /> Manhasset Valley and Spinney Hill attracted a number of skilled workers and immigrant families.<ref name="aronson" />

The [[North Hempstead Town Hall]] opened in Manhasset on Plandome Road in 1907.<ref name="aronson" /> Town councilmen had previously been meeting in Roslyn taverns after North Hempstead split away from Hempstead in 1775.

The Manhasset Valley School, originally built to serve the children of the help on the local Gold Coast Estates, eventually came to serve Manhasset's African American community, and was closed in the 1960s by a [[desegregation]] lawsuit. It is still standing and is currently used as a community center. The centrally located but antiquated Plandome Road School was demolished in the early 1970s, having been replaced by the new Shelter Rock Elementary School in [[North Hills, New York|North Hills]] by 1969. Currently, Mary Jane Davies Green sits on the site of the old school.

Manhasset is served by the [[Nassau County Police Department]], with the Sixth Precinct station house located on Community Drive, just south of [[Northern Boulevard]]. RMPs 608 and 616 are the cars assigned to patrol duties in Manhasset. In 2005, a ''[[Wall Street Journal]]'' article ranked Manhasset as the best town for raising a family in the [[New York metropolitan area]].<ref>{{cite web|author=ANDREA COOMBES|date=2005-06-16|title=The Top 10 Places To Raise Kids - WSJ.com|url=http://www.realestatejournal.com/buysell/relocation/20050616-coombes.html?refresh=on|access-date=2012-06-13|publisher=Realestatejournal.com|url-status=dead|archive-date=March 28, 2008|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080328082306/http://www.realestatejournal.com/buysell/relocation/20050616-coombes.html?refresh=on}}</ref> The Manhasset area, settled by 1680, grew quickly after it began being served by the [[Long Island Rail Road]] in 1898. The LIRR provides access to [[New York City]] via the [[Manhasset (LIRR station)|Manhasset]] station with an approximately 40-minute commute to [[Penn Station (New York)|Penn Station]] or [[Grand Central Madison|Grand Central]]. Express trains, which run during rush hour, make the trip in less than 30 minutes. The hamlet of Manhasset is located 19.5 miles (29.2&nbsp;km) away from midtown [[Manhattan]].

In the 2010s and 2020s, talks have been restarted to connect the businesses on Plandome Road to sanitary sewers operated by the [[Great Neck Water Pollution Control District]].<ref name=":0">{{Cite web|last=Schaden|first=Marco|date=2019-07-26|title=From Cesspools To Sewers|url=https://manhassetpress.com/from-cesspools-to-sewers/|access-date=2021-08-22|website=Manhasset Press|language=en-US}}</ref><ref name=":7">{{Cite news|title=Price to convert corridor to sewer system as much as $40M|url=https://www.newsday.com/long-island/nassau/sewer-hookup-septic-tanks-feasibility-study-plandome-road-1.41244702|access-date=2021-08-22|website=Newsday|language=en}}</ref><ref name=":8">{{Cite web|last=Schaden|first=Marco|date=2021-01-31|title=Sewering Manhasset Gets A Restart|url=https://manhassetpress.com/sewering-manhasset-gets-a-restart/|access-date=2021-08-22|website=Manhasset Press|language=en-US}}</ref> These proposals have been discussed for decades but historically had been met with opposition, ultimately killing some of the earlier plans.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":7" /><ref name=":8" />

The commercial center of Manhasset is situated around the railroad station on Plandome Road, where the [[Long Island Rail Road|LIRR]] connects directly into [[Manhattan]] for a 37-minute commute.<ref name=":9">{{Cite web |last=Claus |first=Christina |date=2017-05-06 |title=A History Of Plandome Road |url=https://manhassetpress.com/a-history-of-plandome-road/ |access-date=2021-08-22 |website=Manhasset Press |language=en-US}}</ref> The area has bakeries, pizzerias, delis, bars, coffee shops, and a movie theater. Centralized in town is a small park and a gazebo. The community's public library is located one block east of Plandome Road, on the corner of Onderdonk Avenue and [[New York State Route 25A|Northern Boulevard]], adjacent to the historic [[Quaker]] Meeting House.<ref name=":9" />

Prior to the Long Island Rail Road's arrival, the commercial center of Manhasset was located in the Manhasset Valley (near the present-day [[Manhasset Valley Park]]), along [[Manhasset Bay]].<ref name=":9" />

The North American headquarters of [[Sabena]] was located in a {{convert|36000|sqft|sqm}} office building in Manhasset. In April 2002, Knightsbridge Properties Corp. bought the building for $4.9 million. Due to the bankruptcies of Sabena and [[Swissair]], the real estate deal took over a year to finish. During that month, the building was 30% occupied. Sabena was scheduled to move out of the building on May 10, 2002. The buyer planned to spend an additional $2 million to convert the building into a multi-tenant, [[Class A office]] and medical facility.<ref>Anastasi, Nick.
