History
In 1946, developer William J. Levitt bought 19 acres of land near the Carle Place train station for an experiment. His crews brought pre-cut lumber to the site and rapidly assembled 600 low-cost houses, offering affordable suburban living with an easy commute into offices in New York City. Within five years, returning veterans and their families swelled the population by 500 percent. It transformed Carle Place, and served as the prototype for Levittown, the larger development which Levitt began the following year only a few miles away.
In 1999, St. Mary's Chapel – a historic church in the hamlet – was listed on the New York State Register of Historic Places, and it was subsequently added to the National Register of Historic Places in 2005.
