 Garden City, NY 11530 is an incorporated village in the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County on Long Island. In 1869, New York City merchant millionaire Alexander Turney Stewart set out to create a place that embodied his ideals, his wisdom and his wealth. He purchased 10,000 acres of Hempstead Plains on Long Island. There, at almost 70 and with no children, Stewart began creating his legacy…his Garden City.
One of Americas earliest planned villages, Garden City was developed with wide avenues, hundreds of trees and shrubs, sixty well built homes on spacious lots, a handsome hotel on a 30-acre park – all reached via its own railroad line, Stewarts Central Railroad of Long Island. When Alexander Turney Stewart died in 1876, his wife Cornelia built in memory of her husband the landmark Cathedral of the Incarnation, Bishops residence and two church schools. She agreed to deed these properties to the Episcopal Church of Long Island with one provision – that her husband be entombed in the Cathedral. They agreed. After Mrs. Stewart’s death in 1886, her heirs formed the Garden City Company in 1893 to continue the orderly development of the Village. For many years there was little change in the original Village’s overall dimensions.
The Garden City name is also applied to unincorporated areas in the region such as Garden City South, Garden City Park and East Garden City. Roosevelt Field, the shopping center and former airfield from which Charles Lindbergh took off on his landmark 1927 flight, is located in East Garden City.
Mitchel Air Force Base, served as a United States Air Force Base from 1918 through 1961. As of 2008, the U.S. military still retains a limited presence there, with the rest of the base occupied by housing, Nassau Community College, Hofstra University, the Long Island Children’s Museum, the Nassau County Firefighters Museum and Education Center, a Sony IMAX theater and the Cradle of Aviation Museum. In the 1970s, the old Garden City Hotel declared bankruptcy, and closed. The hotel was later demolished, and Garden City lost one of its grandest and most historical landmarks. A new Garden City Hotel was constructed on the previous site of the old Garden City Hotel.
Notable past and present residents of Garden City, NY include Nelson DeMille, Telly Savalas, Joe Namath, Susan Lucci, Bill Moyers, and John Tesh.
