Thanks to SeanX4, we know that the Green Acres Mall is in South Valley Stream ("Valley Stream, NY 11581" mailing address), and that means that all 3 major Nassau County malls are NOT in the community whose name is in that mall's mailing address:

Green Acres Mall, South Valley Stream ("Valley Stream, NY 11581" mailing address)

Roosevelt Field Mall, East Garden City ("Garden City, NY 11530" mailing address)

Sunrise Mall, East Massapequa ("Massapequa, NY 11758" mailing address)

Believe it or not Roosevelt Field Mall is in Carle Place! The land was purchased by Alexander Turner Stewart in 1867! But the Garden City Development Corporation spun the land off and sold it to Nassau after the county broke away from Queens county in 1900!

Corporate retailers thought it would help augment Retail sales if their businesses had a Garden City Zipcode juxtaposed instead of the Carle Place Zip!

The Hamlet of Carle Place is in the Town of North Hempstead (i.e. north of the median of Old Country Road) and the Roosevelt Field Mall is south of the median of Old Country Road in the Hamlet of East Garden City ("Garden City, NY 11530" mailing address) in the Town of Hempstead.

The map of the Hamlet of Carle Place:

The date was January 1, 1899, when the eastern three-quarters of Queens County -- the Town of North Hempstead, the Town of Hempstead and the Town of Oyster Bay -- seceded from Queens County and formed Nassau County.

See http://www.city-data.com/forum/long-...tate-scam.html for the real story about the Garden City Development Corporation.

rockypointny is on a distinguished road
What is Maywood? I saw it labeled on the weather map of a major network. When I searched it, it actually came up on some maps being somewhere around East Farmingdale.

I have a Hagstrom Suffolf County map from the late 90s that has Maywood listed right above Rte 109 and the Rte 110 interchange in East Farmingdale. I guess it was the name of this area way back when?

Hey Walter, what about Edgewood? On the same Hagstrom map, it shows Edgewood located near Pilgrim State Hospital, split in two by Sagtikos Pkwy, north of Baywood and west of Brentwood. Is it a hamlet or a ghost place from years past?

Concomitant with the 1980 Census, the Hamlet of Edgewood became part of the Hamlet of Brentwood.
