History
The area now consisting of the Port Washington North was initially settled by European colonists – mainly Dutchmen and Englishmen – in 1644, after they purchased land from the people of the Matinecock Nation.
Port Washington North incorporated on May 16, 1932, after residents of the area unanimously voted in favor of incorporating that year. In doing so, it became the youngest village in North Hempstead – a title it retains. Its first Mayor, John Cocks, led the movement to incorporate; he was elected on August 2, 1932.
In 1931, one year prior to the incorporation of Port Washington North as a village, the adjacent village, Manorhaven, unsuccessfully attempted to annex the area – in addition to both the Port Washington Terrace neighborhood and what is now the Morewood Oaks neighborhood in unincorporated Port Washington. Manorhaven's annexation bid was unsuccessful due to legal disputes and how the residents in what would ultimately become Port Washington North preferred to incorporate as a separate village. When Port Washington North incorporated one year later, in 1932, the new village's territory effectively separated the two unincorporated areas – excluded from the territory of the newly-incorporated village of Port Washington North – from the rest of unincorporated Port Washington, in turn creating two exclaves.
