Photos from the Village Archives
Nassau County is 125 years old in 2024, having been separated from Queens County in 1899 when Queens became part of greater New York City. One of the first requirements was a new County Courthouse. The Garden City Company donated land at the southwest corner of Old Country Rd. and Franklin Ave., just within the north boundary of the Village. The cornerstone was laid by Governor Theodore Roosevelt in 1901. The courthouse was given a Mineola address to avoid confusion for NYC travellers, as it is much closer to the Mineola RR station than the one in Garden City. Court operations were transferred to a new Courthouse on Old Country Rd. in 1940, and the building is now used for legislative offices. Shown is a photo of the original Courthouse facing southwest in the early 1900s, before wings were added on the sides in 1916. Franklin Ave. is a dirt road with a horses-drawn wagon approaching in the middle. At the left is a trolley on the line that started at Old Country Rd. and continued on Franklin into Hempstead and ultimately to Jamaica. That service ended in 1926. Arhives identifier: pbch08.
