The colonial origins of New Hyde Park

BY H OWA R D K R O P L I C K Town of North Hempstead Historian Thomas Dongan was born in Castletown, Ireland in 1634 of a very old Catholic family. His brother William was made Viscount Dongan in 1661 and Earl of Limerick in 1685.

Dongan entered the French army at an early age and made colonel in 1674 and recalled to England in 1677.

In 1682 Dongan became New York’s fourth Royal Governor.

One of Dongan’s first official acts was to convene the Assembly of Community Representatives from New York and Southern New England (then part of the New York Province).

The 1683 assembly drew up the “Charter of Liberty and Privileges” which became the basis for the New York State Constitution.

The assembly created the counties of New York State. Long Island was divided into three counties: Kings,Queens and Suffolk.

Present day North Hempstead and Hempstead were part of Queens County which included Queens and Oyster Bay. Dongan also set up the Queens County Courthouse in what is now Jericho Turnpike and Marcus Avenue in Garden City Park Soon after the 1683 assembly, the towns of Flushing and Hempstead presented Dongan with a gift of land south of

The Dongan/Clark Estate as seen in 1918.

Success Pond.

At the Nov. 12, 1684 Hempstead Town Board meeting, Dongan was gifted 200 acres of “woodland” adjoining the 400 acres given to him by the Town of Flushing.

The large property,later spanning 672.5 acres, would become known as the Dongan Farm.

The Dongan Farm was located west of Lakeville Road from south of Lake Success down to Jericho Turnpike.

This 1918 map of the property was drawn by Frederick Van Wyck for the Brooklyn Daily Eagle.

Dongan built a manor on the west side of Lakeville Road in the area now about 1,000 feet north of Hillside Avenue.

An anti-Catholic aristocratic revolution pushed James II off the British throne in 1688. As a result, Dongan lost his governorship and “retired to his farm in Hemp-

stead.”

Following a warrant for his arrest, Dongan escaped to New Jersey and then to Boston.

Dongan returned to England in 1691.

Upon his brother’s death in 1698,Thomas Dongan became the Earl of Limerick, although the Dongan land had already been confiscated by the Crown.

Following Dongan’s death on Dec. 15, 1715,the Dongan Farm and manor were inherited by his nephews Thomas and Walter Dongan.

In 1724,the heirs sold the Dongan estate to George Clark.

Born in 1676 in Somersetshire, England, Clark was a nephew of William Blathwait who held significant power over colonial appointments.

After practicing law in Dublin, he came

to America in 1702 as Secretary of the Province of New York.

While visiting England in 1705, he married Anne Hyde, who was related to Queen Anne and Lord Cornbury who was then governor of the Province of New York.

Clark would become a member of the Provincial Council in 1716 and served as lieutenant governor from 1736 to 1743.

To honor his wife (who died in 1740), Clark named his Long Island estate purchased from the Dongan heirs Hyde Park.

At first the name referred just to the Clarke property, but after he returned to England in 1745, it was used for the entire area.

Although the Clark property was sold off and sub-divided into several farms, the area for the next 165 years was referred to as Hyde Park.

In 1871,John C. Christ and Phillip J. Miller applied to the Post Office Department for establish a post office in Hyde Park.

The postal authorities refused to allow them to use the name since Hyde Park had been recently assigned to a Dutchess County village, later the birthplace of Franklin D. Roosevelt.

The revised name New Hyde Park was approved by the postal authorities and the Long Island Rail Road changed the name of its station in March 1871.

New Hyde Park became incorporated as a village on Aug. 17,1927.

History of the Floral Park Public Library

The Floral Park Library is located in the quaint, red brick building with cupola facing east on the corners of Tulip and Caroline Avenue. This charming building was completed in 1936 and was originally home to the Floral Park Post Office. It stands on property once owned by John Lewis Childs, the founder of Floral Park. Childs’ mansion stood directly across the street from where the library now stands. When, in 1963, the post office needed more space than this building could afford, the Village acquired the site for use as the village library. Until this time, Village Hall housed a library area within its walls. Consequently, with the acquisition of this building, Floral Park proudly opened the doors of its new library in 1964. This picturesque library building and the services it provides today are still a source of pride for the residents of the Village of Floral Park.

History of the Hillside Public Library

The Hillside Public Library is a school district library serving the New Hyde Park Union Free School District #5.The Hillside Public Library was first charted by New York State in 1961 where the library was housed in a wing of the Manor Oaks School. In 2003, voters approved a bond referendum for the purchase of the Kismet Temple building and the renovation of the building and site as a new public library facility. The library celebrated its 10th year anniversary in the new building this past March. Hillside Public Library is a place where everyone can go to improve their lives, where all generations are valued and have the opportunity to learn and expand their horizons.

The history of Floral Park’s founder, John Lewis Childs John Lewis Childs, the founder of Floral Park was born in Jay Maine on May 13, 1856. At seventeen he wrote a letter to Mr. C. W. Allen, an importer and grower of plants and flowers in what was then the hamlet of East Hinsdale, Queens, on the Hempstead Plains of Long Island, to see if there was a “situation” available in his gardens or green-houses.

His letter impressed Mr. Allen.

Childs worked for Mr. Allen as an apprentice for a year and then rented a few acres of land nearby and began a business as a seed man and florist. He created the first ever seed catalog in 1875. In five years, after purchasing his own property, his business, the John Lewis Childs Seed Company, grew rapidly necessitating a railroad stop. The train station was first known as East Hinsdale and renamed Floral Park, to Childs’ credit. For a mile,

or more, fields of bright colored flowers lined the train tracks. Thus the telling names ascribed to Floral Park – “Home of Flowers,” Land of Flowers” and “Park of Flowers.”

Childs became known around the globe as a man devoted to the “cultivation of flowers.”

It was not long before a post office was needed to accommodate Childs’ fabulous enterprise of giant proportions which would flourish for 50 years. He had hundreds of loyal employees. In 1889 he was receiving 10,000 orders for plants and seeds a day.

In 1909 he expanded his business to eastern Long Island to support his wholesale business and to grow plants and seeds for his retail mail order business. He purchased 1,000 acres near St. James and named it Flowerfield. He built a large bulb house and planted acres of flowers, plants and shrubs. It

and gardening. Another of his publications was the “Schoolmate,” a children’s magazine with natural history stories.

was dubbed “The World’s Biggest Flower Bed.” Childs’ grand publishing house in Floral Park printed 500,000 copiously illustrated catalogues that were mailed out twice a year to consumers worldwide.

Each year he published 300,000 copies of “The Mayflower” magazine with 32 pages of information for the average person who wanted to learn about floriculture

Childs was active in the movement to construct the Floral Park School in 1884 which would later bear his name as a tribute to his good works. In 1894 he was elected to the New York State Senate and would become a staunch friend of Governor Theodore Roosevelt. When Floral Park was incorporated in 2008, Childs served as the first president of the village.

By 1910 Childs owned the world’s most complete private collection of North American mounted birds and their nests and eggs and had a natural history library of over 1,000 books. For three years he was the editor and publisher of a magazine about birds titled “The

G U I D E TO N E W H Y D E PA RK • J U N E 8, 2018

Warbler.” In addition, he amassed a huge collection of minerals, including very rare specimens.

In later years his daughter Norma Childs Schwieters wrote about her father saying that he “was a man whose worldly success was phenomenal, but whose financial gains were used to spread beauty and happiness throughout the world through his love of flowers.”

On March 5, 1921, John Lewis Childs passed away in his sleep on a train due in Grand Central Station that morning. He was returning from Pasadena, California where he had land known as the Old Paradise Nurseries. He was an extraordinary citizen of America and without question the “Father of Floral Park.”

At a glance: Floral Park Historical Society

The Floral Park Historical Society (FPHS), founded in 1999, is dedicated to collecting and preserving memorabilia, documents, artifacts, photos and oral histories that capture the everyday life as well as the milestones of the Floral Park community. The village’s founder and first president of the Inc. village of floral Park (1908), John Lewis Childs, established a very successful seed and publishing businesses. Childs also served as a New York State Senator, an author world renowned flora-culturalist, botanist, ornithologist and naturalist. By maintaining an archives and museum at 103 South Tyson Avenue in Floral Park and offering public educational programs, the FPHS hopes current and future residents will take pride in the village as they become part of its collective history by living, working, raising families and enjoying the fruits of the American Dream right in Floral Park.

The history of Floral Park village The history of Floral Park begins in 1874, when 17-year-old John Lewis Childs came to the area known as East Hinsdale.

The community, then a part of Queens County, consisted of a small group of houses, one store, the Hinsdale Post Office and a railroad station.

In 1899 the County of Nassau was formed and Floral Park became a part of it.

Childs became an employee of C. L. Allen, who was a grower of flowers and seeds. After a year of apprenticeship, he went into business for himself. He rented a small area of land and began a seed and bulb business.

He advertised his products in leaflets, thus starting the first seed catalogue business in America. The business grew to hundreds of acres of gardens, thousands of customers, a printing plant and catalogues sent throughout the world.

Childs bought the land surrounding the post office and named the new territory Floral Park, naming the streets and avenues for flowers and trees. The post office was soon renamed the Floral Park Post Office and, in 1888, the railroad similarly changed the name of its station.

Childs did not own Jericho Turnpike, a planked toll road used by those traveling from Long Island to New York. In 1904, Jericho Turnpike and Light Horse Road (now Tulip Avenue) was a popular place to view the first Vanderbilt Cup Race.

The Village of Floral Park was formally incorporated on October 15, 1908. Two days later, some 175 voters elected John Lewis Childs as president, along with two trustees, George F. Downing and John F. Klein.

The first village clerk, David W. Syme, and tax collector, Andrew Wright, were named.

The new officials, through the generosity of John Lewis Childs, met in an upstairs room in the Mayflower Press Building.

With population increasing in 1910 to almost 800 people, a proposition was submitted to village voters recommending the addition of two trustees. It was voted down

until 1922, when it was again submitted and passed.

The title of president was changed to mayor in 1927. In 1926, Floral Park was classified a village of the first class with a population of more than 5,000.

A bond was issued in 1921 for paving village streets, a project that took many years to complete. The village now has approximately 37 miles of paved roads.

Law and order was provided by two deputy sheriffs, Gilbert Wright and George Hurrell, when the village incorporated in 1908. It wasn’t until 1918 that Floral Park had a uniformed police force with a booth at Jericho Turnpike and Tyson Avenue, which served as police headquarters.

Today, the village is served by uniformed officers, civilian dispatchers, crossing guards and parking meter attendants with a modern computerized headquarters.

The Hook & Ladder Company was founded in 1893, the first of the Floral Park fire companies. The first firehouse was on Violet Avenue, now the location of a municipal parking field.

The second floor of this hall served as a meeting place for village activities for many years.

A second unit, Alert Engine Company, was formed in 1907, followed by Reliance Engine Company in 1910, and Active Hose and Engine Company in 1924. Each of these companies located in various areas of the village are still housed in their original facilities.

The last branch of the department was the Rescue Company, formed in 1930. Its much in demand ambulance service, begun in 1970, offers modern lifesaving equipment and well-trained medical technicians.

Floral Park is served by a 100 percent volunteer fire department.

Religious organizations came to Floral Park as early as 1889, when the Extension Society of the Methodist Church sent a minister to preach on Sunday evenings.

A church was formally dedicated in 1891 and became the first church in the village.

The history of the Garden City Park Fire Department

Motorized equipment for firemen was unheard of when the Garden City Park Fire Department was organized in March of 1911 with a complement of 23 men and officers.

The equipment consisted of a horse drawn combination hook and ladder and bucket brigade.

The district was originally covered by New Hyde Park Fire District until the latter established its eastern boundary at Denton Avenue, shutting out Garden City Park.

In 1917, the horses were replaced by a secondhand truck which pulled the same piece of apparatus until 1925. The company then purchased a secondhand pumper from Farmingdale which remained in service until 1927.

Garden City Park was growing so a second company was formed in 1927 and headquarters moved to Jericho Turnpike. George Malvese was elected the first chief in 1927.

Prior to that year the fire companies were under the direction of a foreman, Peter Krumhoz Sr. As the population continued to grow at a steady pace, it was found necessary to form a third company to service the area north of Hillside Avenue. A firehouse was set up on Denton Avenue, north of Hillside Avenue in 1938. A fourth company was added in 1943 and an Emergency Relief Squad in 1950.

In 1961, the department consisted of 146 men and officers, equipped with the most modern firefighting apparatus including a 75-foot aerial ladder truck.

The Garden City Park vamps provided fire protection for upwards of 5,000 families in one of the largest fire districts in Nassau County, and its district was bound on the north by I.U. Willets Road, south by Maple Drive to Denton Avenue, then south along Denton Avenue to the LIRR tracks.

From that point the line extended east to Herricks Road, north to Hillside Avenue, east to Foch Boulevard and

G U I D E TO N E W H Y D E PA RK • J U N E 8, 2018

north again to Old Motor Parkway.

An event that saddened the department was the accidental crash of an Army B-25 medium bomber in a Denton Avenue sand pit on the morning of Jan. 1, 1942, shortly after Pearl Harbor.

The department responded to an alarm but there was little it could do beyond preventing flames from spreading to nearby homes. Five of the fliers aboard the plan perished when the pilot deliberately head the plan for the sand pit to avoid hitting the homes.

A memorial service for the dead fliers was held in Notre Dame Catholic Church, New Hyde Park. A plaque erected to their memory still stands at New Hyde Park Road and Oak Drive, half a mile from the sand pit site.

In all of the department’s 100 year history, no blaze was more spectacular than the fire that completely destroyed a one-and-a-half story brick and wood warehouse at 2145 Jericho Turnpike on New Year’s Eve in 1958.

The building, occupied by the Globe Nassau Supply Co., was stocked with lumber, tar and roofing supplies.

Damage was estimated at $500,000.

The firefighters battled in subfreezing weather for more than five hours to bring the flames under control. Several firemen suffered smoke poisoning and minor injuries. At one point flames shooting 65 feet in the air were visible five miles away.

At that time, a major face-lifting job gave a brilliant “new look” to the Jericho Turnpike headquarters.

The once drab meeting room on the second floor shined with new sparkle and luster. Renovation and alterations also were done to other parts of the building.

“There is nothing like a renovation job to improve the men’s morale,” Chief Kenneth Rodden said of the project.

The history of the New Hyde Park Fire Department

Prior to 1896 there was no organized fire protection in the New Hyde Park area.

After a man lost his life as a result of a fire in a hotel on Jericho Turnpike, the residents decided something must be done to prevent another tragedy like this from happening again.

On several Saturdays in March, April, and May 1896, the citizens of New Hyde Park and the vicinity held meetings for the purpose of organizing a fire protection service.

The first of these meetings was held on March 14, 1896 on the second floor of Millers Hall, now known as Henry’s Inn. At the initial gathering on March 14, Augustus Denton called the meeting to order, those present chose him to be the chairman of this committee and for Philip Christ to be the secretary.

A committee of five was appointed to act and find out cost of apparatus and equipment, and were to report back at the next meeting. The subscription committee reported that an account balance of $200 existed.

On March 28, John Hughes made a motion to form a Hook and Ladder Company and call it “New Hyde Park Hook and Ladder Company No. 1”. This motion carried.

William B. Raynor.

On May 9, the By-Laws Committee reported progress. Article six, section one was amended to read that the uniform shall consist of helmet, cap, shirt, belt and shield (there was no mention of pants) and no uniform was to be purchased before Jan. 1, 1897.

Finally on May 23, a motion was made and carried by George Schnurr to donate a building to house apparatus and equipment.

A second motion was made and carried by A. Uelins who donated a his services to cut doors on said building no charge. The last order of business on this date was a motion to accept applications for membership at the next meeting on May 30.

As an outgrowth of the New Hyde Park Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 came the founding of the New Hyde Park Fire District early in 1910.

Philip J. Christ, who was supervisor of the Town of North Hempstead, provided assistance in securing the resolution for its creation.

The purpose of the establishment of the district was to put the volunteer fire protection services of the community on a more

stable basis, permit the residents of the community to have something to say about this service and thus insure its constant progress and efficiency.

All of the fire apparatus and equipment were sold by the New Hyde Park Hook and Ladder Company No. 1 to the newly formed fire district.

Later in 1910, the board of the fire commissioners organized the New Hyde Park Fire Department with a nucleus of three companies – Active Hook and Ladder No. 1, Enterprise Hose Company No. 1 and Protection Hose Company No. 2. The Emergency Relief Squad was organized and activated in 1933.

The first major firehouse owned by the taxpayers was constructed on Millers Lane in 1914. In 1940 the Protection Company firehouse on South 5th street was constructed and in 1914 a small garage was donated by the developers of Lakeville Estates and located on Lakeville Road near Hillside Avenue for the use of a contemplated new company.

From 1941, the north end of the district had grown at such a rapid pace that it needs and facilities had to be expanded. The Estates Hose Company No. 3 was organized and activated.

Today, 100 years later, the Active Hook and Ladder Co. No. 1 is an organization of 45 members working with 161 other firefighters that comprise the New Hyde Park Fire Department.

The Estates Engine Company was organized by a group of concerned new homeowners in the “Lakeville Estates” development in North New Hyde Park.

The organizing members felt that the community of newly built homes needed a fire company that was closer to the neighborhood and appealed to the New Hyde Park Fire District to allow them to form a new fire company. In December 1941, the Estates Hose Company was officially chartered just as the United States was entering World War II. From the time of its founding in 1910, the New Hyde Park Fire Department had no medical assistance unit until the 1930s.

In 1933, Chief James Conrad approached the Board of Fire Commissioners and proposed the establishment of a Rescue Company. The board and the department approved the plan and men from the existing fire companies were appointed to form the nucleus of the unit.

After a ten week course, each of them was awarded the Basic First Aid Certification by the Red Cross.

The next order of business was to acquire a rescue truck. This was accomplished by having a budget election which was fully supported by the tax payers of the fire district. Delivery of the first rescue apparatus was planned for 1935.

Over the seventy-five years since 1934, the members of the Rescue Company have responded to many thousands of calls for assistance. Their medical expertise has grown from the Basic First Aid provider to Emergency Medical Technician and Paramedic.

They look forward to responding to more calls in the future with the same enthusiasm as our founding charter members.

Enterprise Hose Company was organized in April of 1910 with members of the New Hyde Park Hook and Ladder Company, which had been organized in 1896.

The first apparatus that was used by the company was a hand drawn hose reel. It was a two-wheel cart light enough to be hauled by manpower to a fire.

For the 75th anniversary in 1985, Milton Baer, a 75- year member of Enterprise, recalled that because there was no heat, during the winter the pumps and tanks had to be drained.

The firehouse was never locked and open to all, and keys were not issued. Even though the commissioners were responsible for providing equipment money was still scarce.

Each fireman paid for his own uniform and 50 cents for his badge.

Currently Enterprise is made up of 40 active members.

CUBSCOUTS CUB SCOUTS The history of Floral Park village

www.scouting.org

Continued from Page 38 St. Hedwig’s Roman Catholic Church dates from 1902 and offered some masses in Polish for a large ethnic congregation. St. Elisabeth Episcopal Church originated as a mission in 1910, and was followed in 1912 by Christ Lutheran Church.

After celebrating masses in Fireman’s Hall in the mid 1920s, Our Lady of Victory Roman Catholic Church located to its present site in 1924.

In 1928, the Floral Park Jewish Center located on Tyson Avenue. The 1940s brought the Covenant Church and First Church of Christ Scientist to the village.

In later years, the Pentecostal Church located on Magnolia Avenue.

As the popu-d lation increased in the village, thee need for a schooll became apparent..

A Board off Education wass formed and a ol four room school house, called thee l, Floral Park School, nd was built and opened in 18955 von South Tyson Avenue. th Upon the death wis of John Lewis he Childs in 1921, the ed name was changed wis to the John Lewis Childs School. In 1929, the Floral Park-Bellerose School opened its doors for students, accommodating the residents in the west end of the village.

St. Hedwig School, the first parochial school in the village, was built in 1908 and was followed by Our Lady of Victory Parochial School in 1930.

Pupils going on to high school in the early years attended Hempstead or Jamaica High Schools. Overcrowding of these schools in then 1920s saw Floral Park seek its own high school.

In 1926, a Central High School District was formed and Sewanhaka High School opened its doors in 1930.

Sewanhaka became overcrowded and, although Floral Park-Bellerose residents wished to withdraw from the Central High School District, efforts to do so were voted down in 1954 by the rest of the component districts.

The final effort was the construction of a junior-senior high school in each member district, and Floral Park Memorial High School opened in 1957.

In 1936, a Village Hall was erected and it serves the village today. At that time, it housed the administrative of-

S40

fices, police department, fire companies and the library.

Today, the administrative offices occupy the major portion of the building along with police and fire headquarters.

During the 1960s, many changes took place. Old houses were demolished to make room for office buildings and super markets and the post office moved to its present location on Tulip Avenue.

In 1962, a self-sustaining swimming pool was added to the much used recreation area. Over the years, additional equipment and renovations have made the recreation center a most popular place in the village, with thousands of people making use of the tennis courts, fields and other facilities.

At the same time, elimination of the Long Island Rail Road grade crossing at Tulip, Carnation and Plainfield avenues was in progress.

The first train to operate on the newly elevated tracks came through in June of 1962 and full service was in effect that November. In the late 1940s, the village saw the need for parking due to the great increase of automobiles and cconstruction of four municipal parking fields was begun to alleviate this problem.

Storm sewers and sanitary sewers were installed between 1954 and 1957 and kept the village in a disrupted state for three years.

Although the Village Board of Trade started a fund in 1916 toward the goal of a public library, it did not come into being until 1923. The Floral Park Public Library opened its doors in that year and moved to its present location in 1964.

In 1982, Memorial Park was completely renovated through the efforts of the South Side Civic Association. A memorial commemorating those residents who gave their lives for our country stands there and is the site of Memorial Day services.

Art shows and musical presentations offered by the Council of Cultural Affairs are also held at Memorial Park.

The most recent change in the village has taken place on Tulip Avenue.

Through the Community Development Fund, matching grants were made available to participating merchants for new facades on the store fronts of Tulip Avenue.

A look back: The history of the Floral Park Police Department At the incorporation in 1908, Floral Park had a police force of two men: Gilbert L. Wright and George Hurrel.

Their equipment consisted of a pistol, a night stick and a good pair of shoes. They were not called policemen at the time but deputy sheriffs.

They worked on a part-time basis and were called out only when needed, they were supplemented by the Nassau County Sheriff ’s Office.

Prior to incorporation, two private groups known as “Protective Associations” had formed and charged $1 per month to offer protection to residents. Many residents opted to join both groups.

In 1918, the Floral Park Police Department was established as the first full-time police officers, Al Surprise and James Peterson, were appointed.

In 1926 Robert Ferris was appointed the first police chief. Prior to his appointment the department was headed by Sgt. Surprise from 1918 to 1924, and then by Sgt. James Peterson from 1924 to 1926.

In 1927 Police Headquarters was moved to a vacant store at 160 Jericho Turnpike in the Pickenpack building with equipment consisting of a desk and detention cell.

Surprise, Floral Park’s first and only mounted policeman, was a noticeable figure directing traffic at the intersection of Tyson Avenue and Jericho Turnpike astride his horse, with nightstick in hand.

One summer day the horse broke loose, wandered onto the Long Island Rail Road tracks where he was struck by a train and killed.

His horse was replaced with a onecylinder motorcycle that he used to become a reported “nemesis to speeders” on Jericho Turnpike. However, misfortune came his way again as the motorcycle’s engine seized into a hunk of set steel after a lengthy pursuit of a speeding motorcycle that led him down Jericho Turnpike into Westbury, where the speeding cycle was finally able to evade apprehension.

At a special meeting in 1927, the Village Board appropriated $100 for the purchase of a used Model T Ford roadster. This was the first police car purchased by the Village and it served the department until 1929.

Chief James Humphrey took charge of the police department in 1928, succeeding Ferris.

During his tenure in 1936, Police Headquarters was moved again to its current location in Village Hall which had been completed that year.

At the time of his appointment, the village had been steadily growing. The population had increased from 2,097 in 1920 to 10,016 in 1930, roads were being paved around the village and the Police Department continued to grow.

There was little growth, however, through the 1930’s due to the Great De-

pression. The first years of the 1940’s remained quiet in the village as well, as many of the residents served in the armed forces during World War II. The post-war era saw continued growth in the village as vacant lots became scarce. The Floral Park Police Department grew with the population as a new patrol sector was added as a result of public demand.

In 1950 Philip Maickel was appointed chief, replacing Humphrey.

By 1958, the force had grown to five lieutenants, four sergeants and twentythree patrolmen; there were also four school crossing guards.

In that year, the village installed seventy-four telephone boxes connected to police headquarters; several of these boxes are still in use today.

Also, by this time a teletype which received immediate police information from thirteen states, screened to Floral Park police by the Nassau County Police Department, and a radio system was installed.

Floral Park had established itself as a safe and secure community, and the Floral Park Police Department had gained a reputation as a force intent on maintaining that environment.

The Floral Park Annual Report for 1958 states that “Floral Park can report an almost negligible amount of crime” and it listed 111 complaints of criminal acts, most of them for offenses ranging from auto

theft to disorderly conduct, and 1,527 complaints for non-criminal acts.

It adds that the department made 38 arrests that year, largely for infractions such as disorderly conduct, and reported that 10 stolen cars were recovered. Five people were reported missing; all were found.

The department prided itself on its record of safety as it continually won many awards, year after year, from the National Safety Council for both traffic and pedestrian safety.

In 1956 Floral Park was one of three communities throughout the United States to receive the Walker Award of the NSC for the excellent safety program and record.

By the 1960s the population growth of the village had reached its peak as there was very little open land remaining.

The two major infrastructure projects, the elevation of the Long Island Rail Road and the widening of Jericho Turnpike, created significant traffic problems throughout the village.

Activity had started to rise as 238 major complaints and 126 arrests were reported in 1967, though most arrests reportedly were still largely for infractions such as disorderly conduct.

The Police Department added the rank of detective in 1969 and promoted Patrolman John Melinski to that position. He had been a well known, and very active, highway officer with the department for many years.
