- WELCOME: Garden City
Garden City is a village in Nassau County, New York, situated on Long Island. In 2020, there were 23,272 people living there.

- History
19th Century
Millionaire Irishman Alexander Turney Stewart purchased a piece of the sparsely populated Hempstead Plains in 1869. Stewart outlined his plans for Garden City in a letter:
I’ve been made aware of comments being circulated by interested parties claiming that my intention to buy the Hempstead Plains is to use the proceeds for the construction of tenement homes, such public charities, etc. In order to quickly cover a barren waste with a population that is desirable in every way as neighbors, taxpayers, and citizens, I believe it is appropriate to state that my only goal in trying to acquire these lands is to dedicate them to the customary purposes for which such lands, so located, should be applied, namely, opening them by building extensive public roads, laying out the lands in parcels for sale to actual settlers, and erecting attractive buildings and residences at various points.
20th Century
One of the biggest publishers in the world, Doubleday, Page, and Co., relocated its facilities to the east side of Franklin Avenue in 1910 and built a rail station called Country Life Press next door. The Doubleday firm developed estate residences for many of its executives on Fourth Street after acquiring a large portion of the land on the west side of Franklin Avenue. Walter Hines Page, a Garden City inhabitant and co-founder of the corporation, was appointed ambassador to Great Britain in 1916.
Garden City Estates, the region to the west of Garden City, was founded in 1907. In 1919, it united with Garden City, and the two were established as the Village of Garden City.
