Elmont, Suburban community in Nassau County, United States
Located along the border with Queens, Elmont extends across residential neighborhoods with single-family homes and local commercial districts throughout its territory.
The area originated as Foster's Meadow in 1650 when Christopher and Thomas Foster purchased land for raising cattle and sheep on the Hempstead Plains.
Multiple ethnic groups from Brooklyn and Middle Village moved to the region during the nineteenth century, establishing farms and developing the local community.
The Long Island Rail Road provides transportation services through the Elmont station, connecting residents to surrounding areas and New York City.
The community houses Belmont Park racetrack, established in 1905, and UBS Arena, where the New York Islanders NHL team plays their home games.
