Rockville Centre
County:
Nassau
The bustling village of Rockville Centre emerged as a hub for commerce and finance as long ago as the early 1900s. In spite of the community's modest three-square-mile area, the town has preserved no less than 150 acres for parks and playgrounds. Leaders also acquired more than 100 acres of the Donald Browne Park from the state. Model-boat racing, hiking, camping, skating, fishing, and picnicking are all common activities. Foresight and attention to detail in the planning of the community has resulted in an unusually high quality of life and a professional approach to urban development, complete with a charming Village Green that hosts festivals and concerts. Services are first rate, and Rockville Centre is one of few communities in the nation where electricity remains a municipal function.
