History
Port Washington North incorporated in 1932 after residents of the area unanimously voted in favor of incorporating on July 6 of that year. Its first Mayor, John Cocks, led the movement to incorporate; he was elected on August 2, 1932.
In 1931, one year prior to Port Washington North incorporating itself as a village, the adjacent village, Manorhaven, unsuccessfully attempted to annex the area. Manorhaven was unsuccessful due to the fact that the residents in what would ultimately become Port Washington North preferred incorporating as a separate village.
In 1953, an area of sand mine along Cow Neck Road, which was uninhabited, was annexed by the village.
By the late 1950s, the Colonial Sand and Gravel Company began selling tracts of their land to developers. In 1959, the green light was given by the village for developers to begin constructing the first section of Port Washington North's Soundview Village subdivision.
In 1982, the Village of Port Washington North celebrated its 50th anniversary.
The name of the village reflects its geographic location in the northern part of the Greater Port Washington area.
