Located on the North Shore of Long Island in Nassau County, Westbury is a historic village in the Town of North Hempstead. As of the 2020 U.S. Census, Westbury is home to 15,404 residents and is widely considered the anchor of the Greater Westbury area. Its welcoming atmosphere, rich cultural heritage, and accessibility to New York City—just 18 miles away—make it one of Long Island’s most appealing communities.
The village’s roots stretch back to 1658, when Quaker settlers arrived in the Hempstead Plains, drawn by the opportunity to practice their faith freely. Over the centuries, Westbury has evolved from a small farming settlement into a thriving, diverse suburban community while preserving its sense of heritage and inclusivity.
Westbury’s rich history is both inspiring and deeply connected to American ideals of freedom and equality. Early Quaker settlers such as Edmond Titus and Henry Willis established the first homesteads in the region. In 1675, Willis gave the village its name, after his hometown of Westbury, Wiltshire, in England.
By the mid-1700s, the Society of Friends (Quakers) had built the first meeting house, and by 1775, their religious convictions led them to free 154 enslaved African Americans—long before abolition became law. Many of these freed individuals built homes and started families in the area, and their descendants contributed to the foundation of institutions such as the Westbury A.M.E. Zion Church, which still stands today as a beacon of faith and community.
During the American Revolution, Westbury was occupied by British and German troops. After the war, many Hessian soldiers remained, settling in what is now known as New Cassel, just east of the village.
The Long Island Rail Road brought new waves of growth starting in the 1830s, attracting Italian, Irish, Caribbean, and Latin American immigrants in the years that followed. The result is the modern Westbury—a culturally diverse, multi-generational community that continues to thrive.
Westbury is a true mosaic of cultures and ethnicities. According to recent census data:
66% of the population identifies as White, including 20% Hispanic White/Latino
12% identify as African American
2% identify as Asian
Westbury is home to many Caribbean Americans, particularly from Haiti, Guyana, and Jamaica
Salvadoran, Honduran, and Mexican communities also make up a significant portion of the population
This blend of cultures has contributed to Westbury’s nickname: “A Community for All Seasons”—a reflection of the village's long-standing tradition of inclusivity and unity.
Economically, Westbury is thriving. The median household income is approximately $100,000, and the median family income is around $135,000, with a per capita income of $44,000. Residents enjoy a high standard of living while maintaining a strong sense of neighborhood and community values.
Westbury's location and infrastructure make it a highly accessible hub for residents and commuters alike. The Northern State Parkway, Long Island Expressway (LIE), and Jericho Turnpike connect residents to Manhattan, Queens, and other areas across Long Island with ease. The Long Island Rail Road station in Westbury offers a convenient commute to Penn Station, making it ideal for professionals working in NYC.
Westbury also features a bustling commercial center, with Post Avenue acting as the main thoroughfare lined with restaurants, local shops, and businesses. The NYCB Theatre at Westbury, once known as the Westbury Music Fair, continues to host concerts and live performances, drawing visitors from across the region.
