Port Washington is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) on the Cow Neck Peninsula in the Town of North Hempstead, in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York. The hamlet is the anchor community of the Greater Port Washington area. The population was 16,753 at the time of the 2020 census.

## History

[edit]

Much of the Port Washington area was settled by colonists in 1644, after they purchased land from the people of the Matinecock Nation.[2][3]

In the 1870s, Port Washington became an important sand-mining town; it had the largest sandbank east of the Mississippi River and easy barge access to Manhattan. Some 140 million cubic yards of local sand were used for concrete for skyscrapers in New York City (including the Empire State and Chrysler buildings), in addition to the New York City Subway.[4] In 1998, the sand mines were redeveloped as Harbor Links – a golf course for North Hempstead residents.[5]

In 1930, Port Washington tried to incorporate itself as a city, which would have had the same boundaries as the Port Washington Union Free School District – excluding Sands Point, which had already incorporated itself as a village several years prior.[6] This plan ultimately failed when the bill was killed after Baxter Estates, Flower Hill, and Manorhaven incorporated themselves as villages in order to retain home rule over their respective areas.[6]

The Port Washington Post Office – commissioned by the United States Government as part of the New Deal – opened in 1935.[7][8]

In the late 1930s, prior to the opening of the Marine Air Terminal at LaGuardia Airport, Port Washington was Pan-American World Airways' New York base for their Yankee Clipper Boeing B-314 flying boats; the waters of Manhasset Bay were ideal for flying boat operations.[9] Common destinations served included London, Southampton (UK), the Azores, and Bermuda.[9]

## Geography

The hamlet is bordered on two sides with bodies of water: Manhasset Bay on its western side and Hempstead Harbor on its eastern side.[10]

Two enclaves exist above the northern portions of the main, contiguous part of the hamlet.[11]

Furthermore, Port Washington is located on the Cow Neck Peninsula.[9][12]

### Topography

[edit]

Like the rest of Long Island's North Shore, Port Washington is situated on a terminal moraine, known as the Harbor Hill Moraine.[13][14] This moraine was formed by glaciers during the Wisconsin Glacial Episode, and is named for Harbor Hill in Roslyn; Harbor Hill is the highest geographic point in Nassau County.[13][14]

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the United States Geological Survey, the highest point in Port Washington is Beacon Hill, at an elevation of roughly 270 feet (82 m), and the lowest point is Hempstead Harbor and Manhasset Bay, which are at sea level.[15][16]
