Nassau County, New York

Nassau County is a suburban county on Long Island in the U.S. state of New York. At the 2010 census, the county's population was 1,339,532, estimated to have increased to 1,358,627 in 2014.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://quickfacts.census.gov/qfd/states/36/36059.html )〕 The county seat is located in the Village of Garden City, within the boundaries of the Mineola 11501 zip code.〔Nassau County Atlas, 6th Large Scale Edition, Hagstrom Map Company, Inc., 1999〕〔(【引用サイトリンク】accessdate=June 7, 2011 )〕〔
〕 The name of the county comes from an old name for Long Island, which was at one time named ''Nassau'', after the Dutch Prince William of Nassau, a member of the House of Nassau, itself named for the German town Nassau. The county colors (orange and blue) are also the colors of the House of Orange-Nassau.
Nassau County is located immediately east of New York City, within the New York-Newark-Bridgeport, NY-NJ-CT-PA Metropolitan Statistical Area. The county is one of the four counties that occupy Long Island, together with Suffolk County to its immediate east and Queens and Kings (Brooklyn) counties to the west, which correspond, respectively, to the New York City boroughs of Queens and Brooklyn. Two cities, three towns, 64 incorporated villages, and more than 60 unincorporated hamlets are located within the county. There are 56 public school districts within the county.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Public School Districts in Nassau County, NY )
〕 Post office districts and school districts use the same names as a city, hamlet, or village within them, but each sets the boundaries independently.〔The number of districts and communities do not coincide, and the boundaries are set independently. Thus, the boundaries cannot be the same, and residences often have postal addresses that differ from the name of the hamlet and/or school district in which they are located.〕
In 2012, ''Forbes'' magazine, in an article based on the U.S. Census Bureau's American Community Survey, reported that Nassau County was one of the highest income counties in the United States and the most affluent in the state of New York, comprising four of the nation's top ten towns by median income. It also ranks as the most expensive county in America. Nassau County has a designated police department, fire commission, and elected executive and legislative bodies.
==Name==
Several alternate names had been considered for the county, including "Bryant", "Matinecock" (a village within the county currently has that name), "Norfolk" (presumably because of the proximity to Suffolk County), and "Sagamore".〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=About Nassau County )〕 However, "Nassau" had the historical advantage of having at one time been the name of Long Island itself,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Last will and testament of Thomas Powell Sen late of Bethpage now of Westbury in the limits of Hempstead in Queens County on Nassau Island in the Colony of New York )〕 and was the name most mentioned after the new county was proposed in 1875.〔
