History

The earliest known residents of the area that would become Douglaston were the Matinecock Native Americans. Early Dutch settlers were drawn to the area by the rich land and abundant fishing. Thomas Hicks settled the area in 1656 on a peninsula first called Little Madman's Neck. In 1796, his estate passed to Thomas Wickes, and in 1819, to Wyant Van Zandt, a wealthy merchant, who built a large Greek Revival mansion in the area. (Today, this mansion houses the Douglaston Yacht Club.)^[2] In 1835, George Douglas bought 240 acres of land along with Van Zandt's mansion. Upon Douglas' death in 1862, the land was inherited by his son, William Douglas. Four years later, the North Shore Railroad extended its service to the area. William Douglas donated an outbuilding for use as the station house, and in thanks, the railroad named its new stop "Douglaston", which soon was taken on as the name of the community.
