Highlights
Beginnings: Glen Head was once part of the large Cedar Swamp area east of Hempstead Harbor - but not the part 17th-Century Dutch and English pioneers cared about. They bypassed its 200-foot, hilly terrain for the more easily farmed land a few miles east, around the Brookvilles. What is now Glen Head waited about 100 years before farmhouses appeared in any number.
