The story

How Malverne Park Oaks came to be

From Wikipedia’s history of Malverne Park Oaks.

Read it all →

While designated as one area, it is actually made up of three different, smaller communities: Malverne Park, Malverne Oaks South, and Malverne Oaks North.

When the Incorporated Village of Malverne was seeking to become an incorporated village in 1921, the residents from this area did not wish to become part of the new village and therefore remained a hamlet under the Town of Hempstead.
