1 Bedroom Apartments for Rent in North New Hyde Park, NY

Noted as "A Great Place to Live," North Hyde Park in New York was once home to New York's fourth royal governor - a man named Thomas Dongan. After being granted a parcel of 800 acres in the late 17th century, Dongan built an estate on the land called Dongan's Farm. However, the estate holder had to flee several years later as his prominent role no longer held weight among the locals. King James II fell from power in Ireland and England, thereby causing the governor's title and influence to be stripped as well. George Clarke bought the Dongan mansion in 1715 and named the area after his wife, Ann Hyde.

Eventually, the land was sold into parcels for farming, or raising cattle
