As of the 2010 census, the town population was 226,322. The town occupies the northwest part of the county. Its Supervisor is Judi Bosworth, a former Nassau County legislator, who was inaugurated on Jan. 1, 2014. A Democrat, she succeeded Interim Supervisor John B. Riordan, the former Nassau County Surrogate, who served since the resignation of Jon Kaiman on Sept. 23, 2013 to work for Gov. Andrew Cuomo. Bosworth is the fifth consecutive Democrat to head the former Republican stronghold since Ben Zwirn was elected in 1989. HistoryThe area was first settled by Europeans around 1643 and became part of the town of Hempstead. During the American Revolution the southern part of Hempstead was primarily Tory, while the northern part, having been settled by Yankees, supported the revolution. Following the war, the Town of North Hempstead was split off in 1784. According to the "Our History" series in the Long Island-based newspaper, Newsday,{{citation needed|date=December 2014}} {{Quote|In September, 1775, almost a year before the future nation declared its independence from George III, the people of Great Neck, Cow Neck and other areas north of Old Country Road signed their own Declaration of Independence.The signers, passionate Patriots, declared their independence from the Town of Hempstead, which, in their opinion, had the bad habit of pledging allegiance to the king. Therefore, the northern necks declared themselves 'an entire separate and independent beat or district.' The 'beat' would officially become the Town of North Hempstead in 1784. During the Revolution, the northern Patriots had their own militia headed by Capt. John Sands of Cow Neck (now Port Washington), which invaded South Hempstead in search of arms. The rift caused a north-south animosity that would take years to heal. The first North Hempstead Town Board, headed by Patriot Adrian Onderdonk, had to cope with an impoverished area, devastated by an avenging British occupation. The councilmen met in Roslyn taverns and didn't get a permanent home until 1907, when the present town hall opened in Manhasset.}} North Hempstead became more affluent with the opening of the Long Island Rail Road through to Great Neck, and the inauguration of steamboat service from Manhattan in 1836. The town of North Hempstead is made up of 30 incorporated villages[2] that claimed the right to set zoning restrictions to protect their rights and resources. No new villages have been created since 1936, when a revised county charter denied zoning power to future villages. There are also some unincorporated areas in the town of North Hempstead that are not part of villages. North Hempstead is the only town on Long Island that does not have a corresponding hamlet or village in its borders with the same name; Hempstead and Oyster Bay in Nassau County and the towns of Huntington, Babylon, Islip, Smithtown, Brookhaven, Riverhead, Southold, Southampton, Shelter Island and East Hampton in Suffolk County all have smaller subdivisions with the same name. GeographyThe west town line is the border of Queens County, New York, part of New York City. The north town line, delineated by Long Island Sound, is the border of Bronx County and Westchester County. The town of Oyster Bay is the eastern neighbor. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of {{convert|69.1|sqmi}}, of which {{convert|53.6|sqmi}} is land and {{convert|15.5|sqmi}}, or 22.47%, is water. Between the 1990 census and the 2000 census, North Hempstead lost some population growth to Queens.[3] Demographics{{US Census population|1790= 2696 |1800= 2413 |1810= 2700 |1830= 3062 |1840= 3891 |1850= 4291 |1860= 5419 |1870= 6540 |1880= 7560 |1890= 8134 |1900= 12048 |1910= 17831 |1920= 26370 |1930= 62202 |1940= 83385 |1950= 142613 |1960= 219088 |1970= 235007 |1980= 218624 |1990= 211393 |2000= 221372 |2010= 226322 |estyear=2016 |estimate=231114 |estref=[4] |footnote=U.S. Decennial Census[5] }} As of the census[6] of 2000, there were 222,611 people, 76,820 households, and 58,460 families residing in the town.
