History
The central, flat, grassy part of Long Island was originally named "Hempstead Plains. The Hempstead Plains is a region of central Long Island in New York State in what is now Nassau County. " In the 19th century various communities were started. One of them was called "Hempstead Branch," and finally, "Mineola. "
Long Island was part of Henry Hudson's original claim in the name of the Dutch East India Company dating as far back as 1609. In the 18th century the Dutch and English settlers worked to clear farmland to start their life on the Hempstead Plains. The Hempstead Plains is a region of central Long Island in New York State in what is now Nassau County. It was in 1858 when this land was named after an Algonquin Indian Chief, Miniolagamika meaning, "Pleasant Village. " The name was later shortened and altered to "Mineola. "
Mineola was legally incorporated in 1906 and run by a president. The president and Trustees worked to meet the needs of the growing community and later became the judicial and legislative heart of Nassau County.

Main Street was the center of village business as well as a popular meeting place for farmers and the business community alike.

It eventually found its permanent home on 1st Street and Main Street.

Mineola is home to very large Portuguese, and more recently Brazilian communities, and has been for years. Portuguese and Brazilian restaurants and businesses are a common feature throughout the neighborhood.
In 2005/2006, As a result of numerous recommendations from the community that Mineola increase its police protection and presence, and in order to protect and improve the residents’ quality of life, a Mineola Police Task Force was appointed by Mayor Jack M. Martins to evaluate the feasibility of withdrawing from the Nassau County Police Department and establishing a Village police force.
The Mayor indicated to the Task Force at its inception that if the feasibility study resulted in a positive report, Mineola would only have its own police department if the residents approved such through a Village-wide referendum.
The operational report of the Task Force is available at this link: [2].
The village board was split 3-2 in favor of the Police Force with Mayor Jack Martins, Deputy Mayor Werther and Trustee Davanzo supporting it while Trustees Fargrieve and Cusato opposed it.
On December 5, 2006 the measure was defeated by a 2-1 margin. Events 63 BC - Cicero reads the last of his Catiline Orations. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar. [3]

Mayor Martins defeated Trustee Fargrieve by a wide margin and Hometown party candidate Peggy May was unable to garner enough votes to defeat either Werther or Davanzo.

In June 2007, the Village Board unanimously voted to pay for a complete reassessment of village property values. The reasoning is that the widening divergence between the county and village property roles is causing Tax certiorari challenges among commercial properties. By reassessing properties to bring assessments more in line with the counties, the village hopes to reduce, and hopefully eliminate certiorari challenges and freeze the current tax split between commercial and residential at 50/50. 2
