The zip codes are problematical. I live in 11590 north of the NS and east of Post Av in a little known area called Westbury Lawns. I just paid $1K in Village taxes, so I am definitely NOT in New Cassel.

By the way, I think New Cassel is experiencing a rebirth.

Yes, Westbury4Ever, ZIP Code postal zones are indeed problematical.

On LI, You Ain't Where You Think You Are, rev. 1 may help you understand the great geographic confusions caused by non-conforming ZIP Code postal zones.

You can find out in which community (city, village or CDP) a house is actually located, which is oftentimes different from the community named in that house's mailing address, by using the Census Bureau's online address search function. (CDP or Census Designated Place is the Census Bureau equivalent for a hamlet in Nassau and Suffolk Counties.)
