North Hempstead, Administrative division in Nassau County, United States.
North Hempstead spans 69.2 square miles along Long Island Sound, containing 30 incorporated villages and multiple unincorporated communities within Nassau County.
The territory separated from the Town of Hempstead in 1784 following the American Revolution due to differing loyalties among the local population.
The area maintains 31 distinct villages including Great Neck, Roslyn, and Williston Park, each preserving its individual character within the larger community structure.
Residents access New York City through the Long Island Rail Road system, with average commute times of 30 minutes to Manhattan via train service.
North Hempstead's governing structure includes six council members from separate districts and operates under restrictions preventing new village incorporations since 1932.
