History
The community is named for Herricks Path – a path which existed and ran through the area as early as 1659.
The school in Herricks was established in 1813, making it one of the oldest in Nassau County. This school, too, was named for Herricks Path.
By 1898, the Herricks School was one of Queens County's last single-room schools and, subsequently, the school would be one of the last in Nassau County, following Nassau County's split from Queens County in 1899.
