History of Mill Neck
Mill Neck officially became a village in 1925. During the "Gold Coast" era, many large and fancy estates were built here.
The Mill Neck Village Hall is an interesting building. It used to be the train station for the Long Island Rail Road's Mill Neck stop. This train station was part of the Oyster Bay Branch line. It closed in 1998 because not many people were using it anymore. Today, the village hall also has a local Post Office branch inside. The Old Brookville Police Department also has a small office in the building.
