History
Wheatley Heights historically was part of the hamlet of Wyandanch, and shares a ZIP code and fire brigade with it. The name Wyandanch was changed to Wheatley Heights by the Postmaster of Wyandanch Thomas A. Brown.
Circa 2001, Wheatley Heights and its neighbors Dix Hills, East Farmingdale, and Melville (all partially or wholly within the Half Hollow Hills Central School District) proposed incorporating as a single village called the Incorporated Village of Half Hollow Hills. These plans failed and each remain unincorporated hamlets to this day.
