Highlights
Albertson was settled by Europeans in the 1640s. John Seren was a member of the initial group of settlers and his name, after a spelling change, is the source of the neighboring community of Searingtown. Townsend Albertson was among the second group of settlers. He ran a farm and gristmill, leading it to be named Albertson Square. In 1850, when a road was cut through Isaac Underhill Willets' farm to Old Westbury, he protested that "Long Island has more roads now than it will ever need.'' I.U. Willets Road, named in his honor, is still there. in 1864, the Long Island Rail Road built a branch to Glen Cove and named the station Albertson.
