New Hyde Park can be very confusing as more than 8 out of every 10 places with a "New Hyde Park, NY 11040" mailing address are NOT in New Hyde Park (the Village of New Hyde Park is 531 acres and the "New Hyde Park, NY 11040" ZIP Code postal zone is 3,339 acres).
For those who may not be familiar with New Hyde Park:
New Hyde Park is a village (incorporated in 1927) partly in the southwest part of the Town of North Hempstead and partly in the northwest part of the Town of Hempstead, in the west part of Nassau County
Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Village of New Hyde Park in the Towns of North Hempstead and Hempstead is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of North New Hyde Park in the Town of North Hempstead; on the east by the Hamlet of North New Hyde Park and the Hamlet of Garden City Park in the Town of North Hempstead and the Village of Garden City in the Town of Hempstead; on the south by the Village of Garden City, the Village of Stewart Manor and the Village of Floral Park in the Town of Hempstead; and, on the west by the Village of Floral Park in the Towns of North Hempstead and Hempstead.
New Hyde Park is one of those many villages and hamlets on Long Island where the majority of the places that have the community name in their mailing address are not in the village: places that have a "New Hyde Park, NY 11040" mailing address that are not in the Village of New Hyde Park are in:
....Village of Lake Success, Town of North Hempstead
....Hamlet of Manhasset, Town of North Hempstead
....Village of North Hills, Town of North Hempstead
....Hamlet of Manhasset Hills, Town of North Hempstead
....Hamlet of North New Hyde Park, Town of North Hempstead
....Hamlet of Herricks, Town of North Hempstead
....Hamlet of Garden City Park, Town of North Hempstead
