Greenvale is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the towns of North Hempstead and Oyster Bay in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States. It is considered part of the Greater Roslyn area, which is anchored by the Incorporated Village of Roslyn. The population was 1,904 at the 2010 census.[1]

History[]

Located between Roslyn and Brookville, the Greenvale LIRR station is known as the Long Island Rail Road stop for the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University and the New York Institute of Technology.[2] While LIU Post is located to the east in Brookville, it uses the Greenvale postal code (11548).[3] Until 1866 the community was originally known as "Cedar Swamp", and later known as "Bull's Head", until some point in the early 20th Century.[4]

While many residential areas in the hamlet were developed prior to the Second World War, the 1940s and 1950s saw the development of the area adjacent to the Roslyn Cemetery and the LIRR tracks (including Park Avenue and Wellington Road); this area is known as Greenvale at North Roslyn.[5][6][7][8]

Landmarks[]

Greenvale is also the site of the historic Roslyn East Gate Toll House, a former toll house for the former North Hempstead Turnpike, which has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 16, 1977.[9][10][11]
