SERVPRO Handles All Restoration Aspects to Help Great Neck Businesses after Flooding
Many who have visited or lived in Great Neck love it's easy commute to Manhattan. This convenience can be attributed to its train station, which also serves as a hub for Nassau Inter-County Express buses. Great Neck Village is part of North Hempstead town, Nassau County in Los Angeles. The term Great Neck is also used to refer to the entire north shore peninsula and the area extending to Lake Success.
Mattinecock Native Americans originally inhabited the area before the English, and the Dutch settlers arrived in the mid-17th century. They primarily relied on fishing and trading with others for their sustenance. They even named the area Menhaden-Ock because of the significant supply of fish in the area. The name later evolved to Madman's Neck when pilgrims landed in Saddle Rock before settling on the name Great Neck.
After the arrival of European settlers, farming was introduced in the area. The settlers planted crops and kept animals such as cattle. In the late 1800s, the area started transforming into a commuter town after the establishment of the New York and Flushing Railroad.
