New Hyde Park is a village in the Towns of Hempstead and North Hempstead in Nassau County, on Long Island, in New York, United States. It is the anchor community of the Greater New Hyde Park area. The population was 9,712 at the 2010 census.
Thomas Dongan, the fourth royal governor of New York, was granted an 800-acre parcel of land in 1683 that included New Hyde Park. It was known as "Dongan's Farm." Dongan built a mansion on what is now Lakeville Road. In 1691 Dongan fled to New England and then Ireland, as King James II and his Catholic forces failed to regain power in England and Ireland.
In 1715, Dongan's estate was sold to George Clarke (who was Secretary of the Province of New York). He named it Hyde Park in honor of his wife, Ann Hyde. Clarke sold the property in 1783 and in the early 19th century it was parceled up and sold as farm land. Raising cattle was a chief agricultural enterprise from Dongan's time until the mid-19th century, when cattle farming in the expanding American West forced the farmers into other pursuits.
When a post office opened in 1871, the name was changed from Hyde Park to New Hyde Park to avoid confusion with the Hyde Park in the Hudson Valley.
The village was incorporated in 1927, after the majority of residents voted in favor of doing so.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.8 square miles (2.1 km2), all land. New Hyde Park lies in the towns of Hempstead and North Hempstead in Nassau County. Referred to by residents as New Hyde Park, the census-designated place (CDP) of North New Hyde Park also lies in North Hempstead. It also uses the New Hyde Park postal code, 11040. New Hyde Park borders the villages of Floral Park, Stewart Manor, Garden City Park, and Garden City.
