History
Prior to the European powers colonizing Long Island, the area was inhabited by the Matinecock Native Americans. The European powers began to settle in and colonize the area during the 17th century; many of the area's first settlers from Europe were Dutch and English.
In the 19th century, many wealthy individuals from New York City began to erect large country estates on Long Island's Gold Coast – including many in what is now the Village of Roslyn Harbor.
Roslyn Harbor incorporated as a village on October 17, 1931, as a result of the residents wishing to make their own zoning codes and other laws under the Municipal Home Rule Law. At the time, the majority of Roslyn Harbor consisted of a few large estates, in turn giving it the nickname of "Millionaire's Village."
