The Incorporated Village of Hewlett Neck is included in the Five Towns, which is usually said to comprise the villages of Lawrence and Cedarhurst, as well as the hamlets of Woodmere, Inwood, and "The Hewletts," which consist of the villages of Hewlett Bay Park, Hewlett Harbor, Hewlett Neck, and Woodsburgh, and the unincorporated hamlet of Hewlett.[2]
History
Hewlett Neck was incorporated as a village on April 14, 1927.[3]
Hewlett Neck consists of many large homes, mansions, villas and former plantations with very large property – a few dating back to the time of the American Revolution.[4] The area, much like Back/Old Lawrence, is unique because its rural affluence is similar in character to the more well known Gold Coast of the North Shore instead of being more urbanized like the rest of the South Shore of Nassau County.[2][4]
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.2 square miles (0.52 km2), of which 0.2 square miles (0.52 km2) is land and 4.35% is water.[5]
