History

Original inhabitants of the area between Parsonage Creek near Oceanside and Milburn Creek near Freeport were native americans known as Merokes or Merrick, an Algonquin tribe indigenous to most of the South Shore of Long Island, who lived in two villages along Milburn Creek. In 1643-1644 it became known as Hick's Neck after two of Hempstead's early settlers, John Spragg from England and John Hicks from Flushing, who extended Hempstead village south to the salt meadows. The grist mill built by John Pine in 1686 on Milburn Creek attracted more settlers who engaged in fishing, farming, marshing, raising longwood and sheep. Between the American Revolutionary War and the War of 1812, growing Hick's Neck came to be called the village of Milburn. The first churches were built in 1810 and 1872 and the first school in 1833.^[1][2] Baldwin was founded in 1855 (as Baldwinsville village) and named in honor of Thomas Baldwin (1795-1872), a 6th generation member of the Baldwin family of Hempstead and the leading merchant of Milburn at the time. Mr. Baldwin owned a hotel and general store called T. Baldwin and Son. In 1867 the South Side Rail Road began operating with a station in Baldwinsville. In 1871 the name of the village was changed to Baldwins so as not to confuse it with the Baldwinsville in upstate New York, and, by 1900's, to Baldwin. During the early 1900's, people were moving into "Beautiful Baldwin", as it was named by Charles Luerssen, a village realtor, for the village's fine boating, bathing and fishing facilities. By 1939, ten years after the opening of Sunrise Highway, Baldwin became the largest unincorporated village in New York State, the title lost to Levittown by 1960.^[3] Oceanside is a hamlet (and census-designated place) located in the south part of the Town of Hempstead, Nassau County, New York. ...
