==Early days==
The Meadow Brook Club was established in 1881, and for the first several years matches were played on the racetrack at the Mineola Fairgrounds, before opening its own facility, including a field and clubhouse, in 1884.〔Saslow, Linda (February 28, 1988) (Fight to Save Polo Field Inspires Greenbelt Effort ), ''New York Times''. Retrieved September 26th, 2015.〕 Originally located in the town of Westbury, New York, the new venue was home to the United States National Open from 1923 to 1953. In 1928 the fields hosted the Cup of the Americas match between the United States and Argentina, which attracted more than 100,000 spectators over three days.〔Marks, Peter (April 27, 1993) (Polo Returns to the Lawns of Long Island; After Decades of Decline, the Sport Is Regaining Prominence ), ''New York Times''. Retrieved September 26, 2015.〕 World War II caused a major reduction in activity, and in 1954 the club was razed for the construction of the Meadowbrook Parkway.〔(Our History ), website of The Meadowbrook Club.〕
