  • WELCOME: Roslyn

Roslyn is a village in Nassau County, New York, located on the North Shore of Long Island in the Town of North Hempstead. It is the cornerstone community in the Greater Roslyn area. When the 2020 census was taken, there were 2,988 people living there.

  • History

The first immigrants to establish in Roslyn did so in 1643. Its original name was Hempstead Harbor, but postal confusion over all the numerous “Hempsteads” strewn over Long Island led to the name being altered to Roslyn in 1844. The new name “Roslyn” was chosen because of its valley setting, which reminded officials of Roslin, Scotland.

The village of Roslyn was established on January 11, 1932. Two days later, on January 13, Albertson W. Hicks became the city’s first mayor after being unanimously elected.

The 217-unit cooperative Roslyn Gardens was constructed in the late 1940s. Located off of Warner Avenue, it was the first significant rental housing development constructed in the New York area under the then-new Title 608 regulations. It was partially funded by the Federal Housing Administration. Architects T. E. Merrill and Max M. Simon designed the facility.

Approximately 102 homes make up the Roslyn Pines community, which was created in the 1950s on the site of the former Rubel estate in the hamlet.

Lamb and Rich designed the Ellen E. Ward Memorial Clock Tower in Roslyn, which was finished in 1895. In 1995, the Town of North Hempstead sold it to the Village of Roslyn for $1 in honor of its centenary.

1995 also saw the opening of the present Village Hall for the Village of Roslyn, located on Old Northern Boulevard.
