Cold Spring Harbor School District

Welcome to the Incorporated Village of Lloyd Harbor

 As you travel north on West Neck road out of the town of Huntington, you enter the Incorporated Village of Lloyd Harbor. The Village was incorporated in 1926.   The residents were motivated by a desire to control future development through the adoption of a zoning plan to preserve the rural surroundings and protect the community from urban encroachment.

The Lloyd Harbor Village Hall is located on Middle Hollow Road. The Village operates a Police Department, Highway Department, Refuse Collection, and Administrative Staff at Village Hall. In addition, the Village Engineer and Building Inspector can also be contacted through Village Hall. 

The Highway Department with a staff of eight operates under the direction of the Department Supervisor. The Village owns and maintains 13 miles of the main roadways in the Village -- West Neck Road, Lloyd Harbor Road, Lloyd Lane, Mill Road, Southdown Road, Middle Hollow Road, Jennings Road, Snake Hill Road, and School Lane to the Plover intersection.  The Highway Department also maintains the storm water drains, removes downed trees blocking Village roads, and performs needed plowing and repairs.    The equipment and garages are located behind Village Hall.

The Village has an eleven (11) person Police Department and, as a direct benefit, a very low crime rate.  The Police Headquarters are located on West Neck Road at the intersection of Mill Road.  Twenty-four hour police protection is provided for all residents.  Since the Village has approximately 1,200 homes, the police can provide personalized attention not available elsewhere, when the need arises.   

Lloyd Harbor School is located on School Lane. The school mission is to develop skills and impart knowledge that will enable students to function as independent lifelong learners in a highly literate, technical and continually changing society. The educational programs offered strive to meet these goals. A long tradition of academic excellence exists within the school community. It is because of the commitment of teachers, parents, and community members that the district is able to achieve such high goals.  Grades 2 through 6 attend the Lloyd Harbor school which is one of two elementary schools in the Cold Spring Harbor school district. Like the other facilities in the district, Lloyd Harbor school has a very large playground as well as extensive playing fields for all sports programs.  The soccer fields are also used by the Cold Spring Harbor/Huntington soccer clubs on weekends in the spring and fall

In 1959, the Village purchased 73 acres on the shore of Cold Spring Harbor for a park and playground.  A Park and Beach Committee was established to direct improvements.  The Park opened in the summer of 1960.

Lloyd Neck is located at the very end of West Neck road. The Lloyd Neck Bath Club is a private beach club with tennis courts and clubhouse facilities for local residents. A long causeway connects Lloyd Neck to the mainland and Lloyd Harbor.

Although preceded by the Matinecock Indians as well as by other English settlers, it was the Lloyd Family of Lloyd Neck whose two-centuries of ownership gave their name to this peninsula. And when the community incorporated in 1926, joining the Lloyd Neck and West Neck areas, the name of the resulting village became Lloyd Harbor as well. Boston merchant James Lloyd acquired the neck in 1676. Lloyd remained in Boston, leasing the land until his 24-year-old son Henry in 1711 gave up a shipping business in Newport, R.I., to farm the Lloyd Neck tract. His home, the Henry Lloyd Manor House, survives in Caumsett State Park. One of his slaves, Jupiter Hammon, was America's first black poet. 

A very private walk to a secluded beach. Caumsett State Park, located on Lloyd's Neck, was the former estate of Marshall Field the third. The name comes from a Matinecock Indian word meaning “place by a sharp rock.”  There are miles of bridle paths, and polo is still played here on weekends. Those of us who rely on our own legs enjoy Caumsett too. This is a very spacious, very quiet, very private park with a variety of habitats, including a long stretch of deserted shoreline, a salt marsh, a big freshwater pond, and lots of woods. In addition, the park is surprisingly flat—the bluffs along the shore are the highest point, and they reach only about 120 feet.  The tranquil beauty of this 1500 acre preserve attracts many visitors every year.

Another historic natural wonder on Lloyd neck is the oldest black oak in north america. Over 550 years old, this monument to nature is showing signs of age.   The park across from the black oak offers views of Cold Spring Harbor.

The residents of 1926 succeeded in preserving the rural surroundings of the Lloyd Harbor Village.  The natural beuaty in all seasons has been preserved and protected. Lloyd Harbor is a private retreat well protected from urban encroachment.
