The story

How Plandome Manor came to be

From Wikipedia’s history of Plandome Manor.

Read it all →

The Village of Plandome Manor incorporated in 1931, spurred in part by opposition to a proposal to install sanitary sewers in the area by the Manhasset Sewer District. The following year, the village annexed the territory occupied by the Plandome Country Club, which had not been included within the limits of the original territory for the village.
