History
In 1910, Woodmere considered incorporating as a village. These plans, however, were unsuccessful, and Woodmere remains an unincorporated hamlet governed by the Town of Hempstead to this day. Another attempt to incorporate Woodmere as a village was made in 1978; this proposal was also unsuccessful.
