HOLIDAY CALENDAR

 
 


The area of the Village of Brookville was settled in the 17th and 18th centuries by English and Dutch farmers.

In 1732, the Dutch bought the property at the intersection of what we know as Wheatley Road and Brookville Road to establish a church. There were many springs and a brook on the property, and it is said that the wolves gathered there to drink. Thus, the Dutch called Wolver Hollow. The church, which was built at that time, was known as the Reformed Dutch Church of Oyster Bay.
Four different structures have been built over the years and the present stately and beautiful building was dedicated in 1924. It was renamed the Brookville Reformed Church and still stands on the original site.
Perhaps because the countryside boasted many brooks, the area became known as Brookville, and it was in the County of Queens until the County of Nassau was incorporated in 1899. Throughout the 18th and 19th Centuries, the area remained virtually unchanged, being farmland and woods with abundant wildlife. In the early 1900s, the beauty of the area as well as the accessibility to New York City attracted many wealthy city residents to the North Shore. These people bought the farmland from the descendants of the Dutch and English farmers. unlimited sums of money were spent on lavish mansions with beautiful landscaping.
