HEMPSTEAD
Nassau County • New York Local
Hempstead first Settled in 1644
The town was first settled around 1644 following the establishment of a treaty between English colonists, John Carman and Robert Fordham, of Connecticut, and the Lenape Indians in 1643. They received a land patent from the government of New Netherland after the settlers had purchased land from the Lenape Indians. This transaction is depicted in a mural in the Hempstead Village Hall.
