Garden City, Residential village in Nassau County, New York, United States.
Description
Garden City is a village in Nassau County on Long Island, roughly twenty-two miles east of Manhattan. The settlement includes residential neighborhoods with wide streets, several schools, and commercial zones grouped around a central area.
History
A wealthy merchant purchased large tracts of open land in the late eighteen-sixties to create a planned residential community. A rail line soon connected the new settlement to the coast, making travel from the metropolis easier.
Culture
The Cathedral of the Incarnation and Cathedral Schools of St. Paul and St. Mary shape the educational and religious foundation of Garden City.
Practical
Most streets run quiet and are easy to walk, especially in the residential areas with trees along the sidewalks. The village center with shops and services sits centrally and can be reached easily on foot or by bicycle.
