Oceanside is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) located in the south part of the town of Hempstead, Nassau County, New York. The population was 32,109 at the 2010 census.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Race, Hispanic or Latino, Age, and Housing Occupancy: 2010 Census Redistricting Data (Public Law 94-171) Summary File (QT-PL), Oceanside CDP, New York )〕 ==History== Originally known as South Bay, the English government established a township here in 1674 called Christian Hook, basing the name on the predominant religious affiliation of colonists in the area. Land development proceeded rapidly, and oyster sales took their place as a dominant force, with the local business "Mott's Landing" becoming a favorite place to buy oysters. In the nineteenth century, the town residents decided that "Oceanville" sounded better than "Christian Hook": it was "Oceanville Oysters" that sold, and in 1864, the new name became official. However, there was already an Oceanville in New York, so "Ocean Side," as two words, was adopted as the town's name in 1890. The name was condensed to "Oceanside" in 1918 - even though, geographically, the town, while a maritime community, does not actually front on the Atlantic Ocean, which is located a few miles to the south. It is separated from the ocean by Reynolds Channel, the body of water just to the south of Oceanside, and beyond that, by Long Beach Barrier Island, including the eponymous city of Long Beach. The (Oceanside Fire Department ) was established in 1902. Columbia Engine Co. #1, an old firehouse, still exists, and is located at the southwest corner of the triangle where Lincoln Avenue meets Long Beach Road. Oceanside was apart of the Post-World War II housing boom. Swamps and marshes were built over with houses and the town began to resemble Levittown. Because of this, Oceanside became more vulnerable to floods and natural disasters. This was proven in 2012, when Hurricane Sandy knocked power out for nearly two weeks after a substation in the nearby town of Island Park exploded. The last farm in the community was demolished in 1997. Nathan's Famous opened its second restaurant on June 4, 1959, on Long Beach Road in Oceanside, taking over the site of the once-popular Roadside Rest, which had opened several decades before and had offered live entertainment and dancing on a large dance floor as well as Nathan's-type frankfurters and locally caught seafood.〔http://www.1960sailors.net/09a_Nathan's.htm〕 There was a large Nathan's building with play areas and a big open dining room that had a stage. Shows were family events. The building was razed in 1976, and a strip mall was built in its place. A modern Nathan's franchise subsequently opened on a small section of the original property, at the corner of Long Beach Road and Windsor Parkway. It was closed in 2014, with a second modern-style Nathan's opened in early 2015, also on Long Beach Road, several blocks away. 〔http://www.1960sailors.net/09a_Nathan's.htm〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Oceanside, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
