Nassau County, Administrative division in Long Island, New York, US
Nassau County is an administrative region on the north shore of Long Island in New York. The area includes numerous residential neighborhoods, parks, and public spaces spread across a large expanse.
The region was created in 1899 when Queens County was divided and its western portion became part of New York City. From this division emerged Nassau County as a separate administrative unit.
The area is shaped by its many small communities, each with their own traditions and local celebrations. Visitors experience these differences as they move through different villages and take part in neighborhood events.
The region is well connected by public transportation including the Long Island Rail Road and bus systems. These connections make it easy for visitors to move around different parts of the area and reach the city.
The local police department operates a specialized marine unit that patrols both the Atlantic Ocean and Long Island Sound waters. This system reflects how important water-based resources are to the region.
