  1. Welcome!
    A message from Town Supervisor John Ferretti

  2. Welcome to the Town of Hempstead, America’s largest township and the community we’re proud to call home. With beautiful parks and beaches, vibrant neighborhoods, and world-class amenities, it’s a place where families can put down roots, businesses can thrive, and neighbors can look out for one another.

    Our township offers endless ways to enjoy life here, from scenic walks at Norman J. Levy Park & Preserve to stepping back in time at Rock Hall Museum, alongside outstanding recreation programs and top-tier senior services. I’m honored to serve as your Supervisor and to build on the traditions that make this township truly special.
