Historia
El área que ahora es Floral Park una vez marcó el borde occidental de las grandes llanuras de Hempstead y, según algunos informes, inicialmente se conocía como Plainfield. Granjas y pequeñas aldeas dominaron el área durante la década de 1870 cuando el desarrollo de Long Island Rail Road Hempstead Branch y Jericho Turnpike atravesó el área. Hinsdale tenía más de dos docenas de granjas de flores después de la Guerra Civil. [6] El pueblo actual de Floral Park alguna vez se llamó East Hinsdale. [7]
En 1874 John Lewis Childs llegó al área para trabajar para CL Allen como vendedor de semillas. Después de construir su propio negocio de semillas y bulbos [8] y comenzar el primer negocio de catálogo de semillas de Estados Unidos, Childs compró una gran cantidad de tierra en el área. Para promover su propio negocio y la industria hortícola local , Childs nombró las calles locales con el nombre de flores y renombró el área como Floral Park. La expansión de la oficina de correos de Floral Park y los negocios de las aldeas cercanas se atribuyen únicamente al éxito del negocio de Childs. [9] Cuando la oficina de correos local adoptó el nombre de Floral Park, Long Island Rail Road siguió su ejemplo y cambió el nombre de la estación de East Hinsdale a Floral Park en 1888. Anteriormente parte de Queens , Floral Park se convirtió en parte del nuevo condado de Nassau en 1899, y se incorporó como aldea en 1908. Childs fue su primer presidente a partir de ese año. [10]
En 1903, el pueblo contaba con más de 200 acres (0,81 km 2 ) de parterres de flores de Childs. El volumen masivo de su negocio de pedidos por correo hizo crecer la oficina de correos local hasta tal punto que hizo comparaciones con las oficinas de correos de Chicago, Baltimore y Boston. [11]
