History

Roslyn Harbor incorporated as a village on October 17, 1931 as a result of the residents wishing to make their own zoning codes and other laws under the Municipal Home Rule Law. At the time, the majority of Roslyn Harbor consisted of a few large estates.

The “Roslyn” part of Roslyn Harbor’s name is shared with Roslyn, Roslyn Estates, and Roslyn Heights, and ultimately can be traced back to when the name “Roslyn” was chosen for that village, which was chosen because the geography in Roslyn reminded officials of the geography of Roslin, Scotland. The “Harbor” part of the name reflects its proximity to Hempstead Harbor. The name was chosen during the incorporation movement.

An earlier proposed name was Roslyn Hills, due to its hilly location, proximity to Roslyn, and because the Long Island Rail Road advertised the area as the “Switzerland of Long Island.” The “Hills” was substituted with “Harbor” after concerns were expressed that it could be mixed up with Roslyn Heights.

Prior to incorporating, the area was generally considered part of Roslyn (which wouldn’t incorporate until 1932), and before that name was chosen for the area in 1844, it was known as Hempstead Harbor.
