The story

How North Valley Stream came to be

From Wikipedia’s history of North Valley Stream.

Read it all →

North Valley Stream's name reflects its location north of the Incorporated Village of Valley Stream.

In the 1950s, the Southern State Parkway was widened from four lanes to six through the hamlet. The project required roughly 213 North Valley Stream area homes located along the path to be moved or demolished.
