- WELCOME : Floral Park, New York
Floral Park is an incorporated village situated in Nassau County on Long Island, New York, United States. According to the 2020 census, it has a population of 16,172.
Located at the western border of Nassau County, the Incorporated Village of Floral Park predominantly lies within the Town of Hempstead, while the area north of Jericho Turnpike (NY 25) is part of the Town of North Hempstead. This area was previously known as East Hinsdale.
Adjacent to but not part of the village is the Floral Park neighborhood in the New York City borough of Queens.
- History
The area now known as Floral Park once marked the western edge of the Hempstead Plains and was reportedly initially known as Plainfield. Farms and small villages dominated the area until the 1870s, when the development of the Long Island Rail Road Hempstead Branch and Jericho Turnpike cut through the region. Following the Civil War, Hinsdale had over two dozen flower farms. The present-day village of Floral Park was once called East Hinsdale.
In 1874, John Lewis Childs arrived in the area to work for C.L. Allen as a seed seller. After establishing his own seed and bulb business and launching America’s first seed catalog business, Childs bought a significant amount of land in the area. To promote his business and the local horticultural industry, Childs named the local streets after flowers and renamed the area Floral Park. The success of Childs’ business is credited with the expansion of the Floral Park Post Office and nearby village businesses.
When the local Post Office adopted the name Floral Park, the Long Island Rail Road followed suit, renaming the East Hinsdale station to Floral Park in 1888. Formerly part of Queens, Floral Park became part of the new Nassau County in 1899 and was incorporated as a village in 1908, with Childs serving as its first president.
By 1903, the village boasted more than 200 acres of Childs’ flower beds. The massive volume of his mail-order business expanded the local post office to such an extent that it drew comparisons with the post offices of Chicago, Baltimore, and Boston.
