My mother was a race car driver for 20 years. She drove a 1969 Yellow Mustang Boss. Mainly for Islip Racetrack. She lived from 1937-1987. My mother also campaigned for Bobby and John F. Kennedy, dated Joe Namath, worked for Connie Francis (entertainer) as a personal assistant. Any and all information would be appreciated." Bearing in mind that Westbury is one of those many villages and hamlets on Long Island where most of the places that have the community name as part of their mailing address are not in the village, for questions such as yours, you may want to contact the Westbury Memorial Public (the library can suggest which local newspaper might have this information and other possible sources of information): Westbury Memorial Public Library 445 Jefferson Street Westbury, NY 11590 Tel: 516/333-0176 Fax: 516/333-1752 eMail: contactus@westburylibrary.org http://www.nassaulibrary.org/westbury/index.html The pertinent geography ... Westbury is a village (incorporated in 1932) in the southeast part of the Town of North Hempstead, in the central part of Nassau County along the North Hempstead/Oyster Bay and the North Hempstead/Hempstead town line. There are 30 villages (municipal corporations) and 18 hamlets (unincorporated areas) all or partly in the Town of North Hempstead. There are 2 cities and 3 towns in Nassau County. (I'm including after my name a NYS Geographic Glossary with the NYS definitions of county, city, town, village, hamlet and postal zone.) Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Village of Westbury in the Town of North Hempstead is bordered on the north by the Village of Old Westbury; on the east by the Hamlet of Jericho in the Town Oyster Bay (the North Hempstead/Oyster Bay Town line) and the Hamlet of New Cassel; on the south by the Hamlets of East Meadow and East Garden City in the Town of Hempstead (the North Hempstead/Hempstead Town line); and on the west by the Hamlet of Carle Place and the Village of Mineola. And, as occurs in all but one of Nassau County's 136 communities (2 cities, 64 villages and 70 hamlets), the Village of Westbury has a different border than does the postal zone that services its area: ........................................................area ..........Village of Westbury.................1,511 ..........Westbury, NY 11590..............4,302 ..............of which ..............part in North Hempstead....2,505 ..............part in Hempstead.............1,503 ..............part in Oyster Bay................294 Thus, about 2 out of every 3 places with a "Westbury, NY 11590" mailing address are NOT in the Village of Westbury and 3 out of every 8 are NOT even in the Town of North Hempstead. Quickly eyeballing the map overlay of the "11590" postal zip code versus village and hamlet borders, all or parts of the following 7 communities seem to be within the borders of the Westbury postal zone and hence all or some of the places in these communities have a "Westbury, NY" mailing address: .....Hamlet of Jericho, Town of Oyster Bay .....Hamlet of Hicksville, Town of Oyster Bay .....Hamlet of Carle Place, Town of North Hempstead .....Village of Westbury, Town of North Hempstead .....Hamlet of New Cassel, Town of North Hempstead .....Hamlet of Salisbury, Town of Hempstead .....Hamlet of East Garden City, Town of Hempstead .....Hamlet of East Meadow, Town of Hempstead For those who have their copy of the 2004 or earlier edition of the Long Island population Survey or have already downloaded the report from the Long Island Power Authority web site (eMail me directly if you need instructions on how to access and download the report), you'll find the Village of Westbury (incorporated in 1932) in the Town of North Hempstead, Nassau County on pages 5 & 6 (map) and 7 (population estimate).
