  • WELCOME: East Meadow

East Meadow is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Nassau County, New York, located on Long Island in the Town of Hempstead. When the population was counted in 2024, it was 36,856.

The distance to Manhattan is thirty miles (48 km), and many inhabitants commute there.

  • History

According to two surveyors for Hempstead in 1655, the “east meadow” would be a good place for cattle grazing. In the 18th century, the region was used for sheep grazing after it had soon become a cow grazing area. At that time, the sheep in the East Meadow region supplied the nation with more than half of its wool needs.

When British forces learned that there was a large amount of cattle being herded in East Meadow during the American Revolutionary War, they took possession of the area and kept it under their authority until the war’s conclusion. In what is now East Meadow, there were two sizable farms: the Carman farm and the Barnum farm (Barnum Woods). There is a myth that in 1790, when traveling across Long Island, President George Washington stayed overnight at the Barnum house. On the Hempstead Turnpike, next to the Carman homestead, there was a toll booth.

Not to be mistaken with neighboring Newbridge Road, another early community was situated close to the present-day intersection of Prospect Avenue and East Meadow Avenue (previously known as Newbridge Avenue).

The area was home to numerous estates from the Gilded Era. The Veterans Memorial Park and East Meadow Post Office are currently located on the location of the former Hoeffner homestead. The Hoeffner family rented the Barnum estate in 1914. Barnum Woods Elementary School is located on a portion of the former Barnum farm, and Merrick Avenue, the main thoroughfare that runs beside the school, was formerly known as Barnum Avenue. Once upon a time, the Brookholt School of Agriculture for Women was part of the several hundred acres that the Oliver and Alva Belmont (previously Alva Vanderbilt) estate sprawled across on both sides of Front Street to the west of Merrick Avenue.

The Nassau University Medical Center, the county’s tallest livable structure, the Nassau County Correctional Facility, and East Meadow High School are located on Carman Avenue.
