Welcome to Great Neck

Great Neck, NY has a rich history dating back to the early 17th century when it was inhabited by the Matinecock tribe of Native Americans. European settlers arrived in the area in the mid-1600s, establishing farms and small communities. The name "Great Neck" is believed to have originated from the neck of land that extends into the Long Island Sound, a feature recognized by early settlers. 
 
By the 19th century, the area began to develop as a popular summer destination for wealthy New Yorkers, drawn by its scenic waterfront and proximity to Manhattan. In the early 1900s, the development of the railroad made Great Neck even more accessible, and the village became home to many prominent families, including industrialists and entrepreneurs. 
 
Throughout the 20th century, Great Neck transformed into a suburban community, maintaining its appeal to affluent residents. Today, it is known for its highly regarded public schools, upscale neighborhoods, and cultural amenities, making it a desirable place to live with easy access to New York City.
