History

In the 18th century the Dutch and English settlers worked to clear farmland to start their life on the Hempstead Plains. As years passed, Jericho Turnpike became the commercial "main street," farmland was sold off, and homes and offices were built. Mineola's first theatre named Allen's Hall drew in many early moviegoers to see "the flickers." Motion picture success drew in other theaters to the area, the most lavish being the Century Opera House. One of them was called "Hempstead Branch," and finally, "Mineola." Long Island was part of Henry Hudson's original claim in the name of the Dutch East India Company dating as far back as 1609. Winthrop-University Hospital, founded in 1896 by local physicians and residents as Nassau Hospital, was Long Island's first voluntary hospital.
