If you were looking for fresh potatoes or cucumbers, Plainview was the place to go up until the mid 20^th century. What once stood as a large Long Island farming community is now comprised of quaint suburban homes, many of which are single family dwellings.

Believe us when we say Plainview is a town with a lot of spirit. When founded in the 1600s, Plainview was known as Manetto Hill. This name was the English adaptation of Plainview’s real original name, Manitou. In Native American tongue, Manitou means “spirit.” While the name may be different today, the charm still remains in this Town of Oyster Bay Hamlet.

Not only does PBS Station broadcast in Plainview, but this Nassau County hamlet is also home to the largest running club on Long Island, the Greater Long Island Runners Club.

When practicing for the club or just running for leisure, the 19 acre park in Plainview is the perfect location for some outdoor exercise. In addition to the walking and running trails, the park includes baseball fields, tennis courts and several pools to cool off in the summertime.
