History of Saddle Rock Estates
Saddle Rock Estates gets its name from the nearby Incorporated Village of Saddle Rock. Even though they share a name, Saddle Rock Estates has never been part of that village. It simply adopted the name from its neighbor.
Early Developments
In 1941, people living in Saddle Rock Estates worked to get the Great Neck Water Pollution Control District to expand into their hamlet. This project would help manage water and waste. The expansion was planned to cost around $140,000 at that time.
A few years later, in the summer of 1946, Nassau County started a project to cover up the Old Mill Pond Brook. They placed the brook into a large, enclosed pipe called a culvert. Residents had asked for this since 1943 because the brook often caused roads to wash out and basements to flood.
