History
Manorhaven was incorporated as a village in 1930, after news was spread that Port Washington was planning on incorporating itself as a city. The majority of residents in what would ultimately become the Village of Manorhaven wished to retain home rule, leading to a push to incorporate and a referendum on the matter being held that year. This referendum was held that September 11, with residents voting 34-to-0 in favor of incorporation, and subsequently, on October 1, 1930, Manorhaven was officially established as an incorporated village, with the signing of its certificate of incorporation; its population, at the time, was 376. Later that month, residents elected Charles Wesley Copp as the Village's first Mayor.
1930 also saw the establishment of a ferry between Bowman's Point Road in modern-day Manorhaven to New Rochelle in Westchester County via (and across) the Long Island Sound, after the courts ruled in favor of its establishment in a legal dispute over the proposal; the service was established a few months prior to the village's incorporation. This ferry – operated by the Port Washington–New Rochelle Ferry Co., Inc. – would run until 1939, when the Bronx–Whitestone Bridge opened further to the west.
