Roslyn, Historical village in North Hempstead, United States
The village of Roslyn extends across 0.66 square miles of land on Long Island's North Shore, featuring residential neighborhoods and commercial districts.
The settlement, established in 1643 as Hempstead Harbor, received its current name Roslyn in 1844 to prevent postal confusion with other Hempstead locations.
The Bryant Library maintains a local history center and organizes educational programs for residents of all ages throughout the year.
The Roslyn Community Center on Orchard Street provides spaces for meetings, events, and recreational activities from 9 AM to 5 PM on weekdays.
The William Cullen Bryant Viaduct, constructed in 1950, redirects traffic flow around the village center, preserving the character of downtown Roslyn.
