Located in central Nassau County within the Town of Hempstead, East Meadow is a thriving hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) that blends historical significance with modern suburban living. With a population of 36,856 as of the 2024 Census estimates, East Meadow is a bustling community just 30 miles east of Manhattan, making it a popular home base for commuters seeking suburban comfort with urban access.
Its central location, diverse population, and long-standing institutions make East Meadow one of Long Island’s most dynamic places to live—and a key area we are proud to serve as personal injury attorneys.
The origins of East Meadow date back to 1655, when surveyors identified the land as ideal for grazing. Throughout the 18th century, the hamlet became a significant producer of sheep wool, supplying over 50% of the nation’s wool during that time.
During the American Revolutionary War, British forces occupied East Meadow due to its vast livestock reserves. Local legends even suggest that President George Washington spent a night on the Barnum estate during his post-war tour of Long Island in 1790.
Over the centuries, East Meadow evolved, hosting several Gilded Age estates. Today, sites like Veterans Memorial Park and Barnum Woods Elementary School stand as living monuments to the area’s early landowners and historic homesteads. The area’s growth continued throughout the 20th century, with a significant post-WWII housing boom shaping the modern suburban landscape seen today.
In 1962, East Meadow played a role in shaping national legal precedent when the Goldblatt v. Town of Hempstead case was argued before the U.S. Supreme Court. This landmark case upheld local zoning laws, demonstrating how East Meadow has even contributed to the development of constitutional law.
In 2024, East Meadow again took the spotlight when it was selected to host eight ICC Men’s T20 World Cup cricket matches, highlighting its global appeal and increasing its prominence in the sporting world.
With deep roots and a growing global presence, East Meadow remains a thriving, resilient community—one that Sullivan Brill Personal Injury Attorneys is proud to support through every legal challenge.
Covering 6.3 square miles, East Meadow is largely flat, with elevation ranging from 32 to 82 feet. While the “meadows” of its name no longer exist due to development, the town retains its character as a residential, family-oriented hub.
According to the 2020 census, East Meadow is home to a diverse population:
77.3% White
11.6% Asian
5.2% African American
12.2% Hispanic or Latino
Ancestral roots run deep, with strong representation from Italian (28.5%), Irish (17.5%), and German (11.8%) heritages. With a median age of 39, the town is a mix of young professionals, growing families, and retirees. Nearly 36% of households have children under 18, making family safety a top concern—a concern that becomes critical in personal injury cases.
