Hempstead, New York auto insurance coverage information
The Town of Hempstead New York has an estimated population of 755,924 and it is considered the most populous town in the U.S. It is actually bigger than Seattle, Boston and Baltimore and comprises 22 villages and 34 hamlets. It is located in the southwestern corner of Naussa County, near to Queens county which is part of New York City. Three State Parks are located in the town's area including Hempstead Lake State Park, Valley Stream State Park and Jones Beach State Park.
The town was settled relatively early in 1644. It may have gotten its name from Hemel Hempstead of England or from the Dutch city of Heemstede. Another idea for the town's name may be that farmers used to replenish their soil by growing hemp on their land, in alternating years, to replenish the soil. The town became divided during the American Revolution into "North Hempstead" and "South Hempstead". Loyalists were in the south while American sympathizers resided in the north.
The town has an interesting mix of politics. While the town itself has been controlled for almost its entire history by the Republicans, voters tend to vote Democratic during state and federal elections.
