Manorhaven is a village in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States. It is considered part of the Greater Port Washington area, which is anchored by Port Washington. The population was 6,956 at the time of the 2020 census.

The Incorporated Village of Manorhaven is located on the Cow Neck Peninsula, within the Town of North Hempstead.

History

Manorhaven was incorporated as a village in 1930, after news was spread that Port Washington was planning on incorporating itself as a city.[2] The majority of residents in what would ultimately become the Village of Manorhaven wished to retain home rule, leading to a push to incorporate and a referendum on the matter being held that year; the majority of the prospective village's voters approved of the proposal by voting in favor of it, thus officially establishing Manorhaven as an incorporated village.[2]

In 1931, one year after the Manorhaven incorporated, the village proposed annexing the territory which would eventually become the Village of Port Washington North.[3] Manorhaven's annexation bid was unsuccessful due to the residents in what would ultimately become Port Washington North preferring to incorporate as a separate village; Port Washington North ultimately incorporated as its own village one year later, in 1932.[3]

Between 1939 and 1940, Manhasset Bay was used as the New York base of Pan American World Airways' transatlantic Boeing 314 flights, prior to the opening of LaGuardia Airport's Marine Air Terminal, with the airport's hangars and terminal located within Manorhaven, at Toms Point on Manhasset Isle, near the southern edge of the village; the facility was subsequently used by Grumman, following the Marine Air Terminal's opening.[4][5][6][7][8] Although the seaplane hangars at Toms Point were eventually demolished, the seaplane base is still in use, with the airport's current iteration being activated in 1948.[9][10][11]

In 1948, Manorhaven residents and officials debated whether to join the Port Washington Police District, and for the Port Washington Police to subsequently take over police operations in the village from the Nassau County Police Department.[12][13] The proposal was rejected by residents, with the majority of village voters opting for the village remain under the Nassau County Police Department's jurisdiction.[12][13]

In 1982, the Village of Manorhaven annexed approximately 20,000 square feet (1,900 m2) from unincorporated Port Washington.[14]

In 1984, Manorhaven residents and officials again debated whether the village should join the Port Washington Police District.[15][16] If approved, the Port Washington Police District would have taken over the police services within the village from the Nassau County Police Department.[15][16] Proponents felt that the Port Washington Police District would be able to better serve the needs of the village, while opponents expressed concerns over potential tax increases.[15] Ultimately, the village, once again, decided to remain under the jurisdiction of the NCPD.[16]

In 2022, Manorhaven Boulevard underwent a major rehabilitation and beautification project, carried out by Nassau County in collaboration with the Village of Manorhaven.[17]

on June 20, 2023, the village's former Deputy Mayor Vincent Costa was defeated by one vote, after being accused of official misconduct.[18][19][20]

Etymology

The name of the village was selected by locals, who felt that the "Manorhaven" name appropriately reflected the feel and nature of the area.[2]
