History of Hempstead Village
A few more tid-bits of info from Wikipedia.
"Hempstead is just as urban (at least with regard to population density and activity) as any major city. In stark contrast to the surrounding villages in the town and county, it is more densely populated than Vancouver, Boston, Miami, Atlanta, Providence, Los Angeles and even New York's own Yonkers and Staten Island. If Hempstead were a city, it would be the 12th most densely populated city in North America."
"Economically a satellite city comparable to the City of Mount Vernon, New York and one of the least suburban suburbs of New York City, Hempstead is legally an incorporated village."
