Brookville, New York
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Brookville is a village in Nassau County, New York on the North Shore of Long Island. As of the United States 2000 Census, the village population was 2,126.
The Village of Brookville is in the Town of Oyster Bay. It is known as the home of the C.W. Post Campus of Long Island University and the Post campus's nationally known cultural venue, the Tilles Center. The Long Island Lutheran Middle and High School is also located in the village.Geography
Brookville is located at 40°48′55″N, 73°34′12″W (40.815199, -73.570058)[1].
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 4.0 square miles (10.4 km²), all of it land.
The geographic Village of Brookville, as we know it today, was formed in two stages. When the village was incorporated in 1931, it consisted of a long, narrow tract of land that was centered along Cedar Swamp Road (Route 107). In the 1950's, the northern portion of the unincorporated area then known as Wheatley Hills was annexed and incorporated into the village, approximately doubling the village's area to its present 2650 acres (11 km²). Note that such figures are often imprecise and the cited figure was calculated by Frederick P. Clark Associates for the report: "Village of Brookville: Open Space Preservation Through Large Lot Zoning; A Village Master Plan Update Study, September 1989, Finalized January 1990"

Miscellaneous
When Oyster Bay Town purchased what is now Brookville from the Matinecocks in the mid-1600s, the area was known as Suco's Wigwam. Most pioneers were English, many of them Quakers. They were soon joined by Dutch settlers from western Long Island, who called the surrounding area Wolver Hollow, apparently because wolves gathered at spring-fed Shoo Brook to drink. For most of the 19th Century, the village was called Tappentown after a prominent family. Brookville became the preferred name after the Civil War and was used on 1873 maps. Brookville's two centuries as a farm and woodland backwater changed quickly in the early 1900s as wealthy New Yorkers built lavish mansions. By the mid-1920s, there were 22 estates, part of the emergence of Nassau's North Shore Gold Coast. One was Broadhollow, the 108-acre spread of attorney-banker-diplomat Winthrop W. Aldrich, which had a 40-room manor house. The second owner of Broadhollow was Alfred Gwynn Vanderbilt II, who was owner of the Belmont and Pimlico racetracks. Marjorie Merriweather Post, daughter of cereal creator Charles William Post and her husband E. F Hutton, the famous financier built a lavish estate on 178-acres called Hillwood. In 1931, estate owners banded together to win village incorporation to head off what they saw as undesirable residential and commercial development in other parts of Nassau County. In 1947, the Post estate was sold to Long Island University for their C. W. Post campus. The campus is noted as the home of the Tilles Center for the Performing Arts. Also in Brookville is the DeSeversky Conference Center of the New York Institute of Technology. The center was formerly Templeton, mansion of socialite and businessman Winston Guest.
One of the oldest existing church congregations in the country calls Brookville its home, namely, the Brookville Reformed Church. The Brookville Church was founded originally by 17th century Dutch settlers.
Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony are residents of the Village of Brookville.
Brookville's Zip Code 11545 according to Luxist.com is the second most expensive neighborhood in the Northeast and sixth in the nation. It is the sixth most expensive zip code in the nation according to Business Week magazine and the ninth according to Forbes magazine.
Brookville's median household income per year is in excess of $200,000 which ranks it in the top 20 in the nation.

Long Island has a climate that is very similar to other coastal areas of the Northeastern United States; it has warm, humid summers and cold winters, but the Atlantic Ocean helps bring afternoon sea breezes that temper the heat in the warmer months and limit the frequency and severity of thunderstorms. In the wintertime, temperatures are warmer than areas further inland (especially in the night and early morning hours), sometimes causing a snowstorm further inland to fall as rain on the island. However, measurable snow falls every winter, and in many winters one or more intense storms called Nor'easters produce blizzard conditions with snowfalls of 1-2 feet (30-60 cm) and near-hurricane force winds. Long Island temperatures also vary from west to east, with the western part of the island warmer on most occasions than the east. This is due to two factors; one because the western part is closer to the mainland and the other is the western part is more developed causing what is known as the "urban heat island" effect. The eastern part is cooler on most occasions due to the ocean and sound and it being less developed.
