nation. The band by 1600 inhabiting the area was called the Matinecock Indians after their location; they were part of the Lenape.
Glen Cove was used as a port by English
migrants from New England and named "Moscheto" before 1668. On May 24, 1668 Joseph Carpenter of Warwick
, Rhode Island
purchased about 2000 acres (8.1 km²) of land to the northwest of the Town of Oyster Bay
from the Matinecock. Later in that year he admitted four co-partners into the project – three brothers, Nathaniel, Daniel, and Robert Coles, and Nicholas Simkins, all residents of Oyster Bay. The five young men named the settlement later spelled,Musketa Cove, which in the Matinecock
language means “place of rushes.” These settlers have been known since as the five original proprietors of Musketa Cove Plantation.
In the 1830s, steamboats started regular service on Long Island Sound between New York City and Musketa Cove, arriving at a point still called "The Landing." New York City residents were reluctant to make the passage since "Musketa" sounded too much like mosquito
. In 1834 village residents decided to change the name to Glen Cove (said to be the misheard suggestion "Glencoe", after the Scottish glen
) now Glencoe, Scotland
. The village added population as workers arrived for jobs at the Duryea Corn Starch factory, which closed around 1900. The name "Duryea" was once suggested as city name to replace Mosquito Cove but rejected.
By 1850 the village of Glen Cove had become a popular summer resort community for New York City residents. The railroad was extended to Glen Cove in 1867, providing quicker, more frequent service to New York City. The availability of the train and the town's location on Long Island Sound made it attractive to year-round residents, and the population grew. On June 8, 1917, Glen Cove became an independent city, separating from the Town of Oyster Bay after 250 years.
The vistas afforded of Long Island Sound from the town's rolling hills attracted late 19th-century industrial barons, including Charles Pratt
, J. P. Morgan
, and F. W. Woolworth. They built large private estates along the island's North Shore. This expanse of settled wealth was part of what would become known in the 1920s as the Gold Coast. Part of the Morgan property is now the city's Morgan Park and Beach.
The mansions have since been turned to other purposes, most before the mid-20th century. John T. Pratt's house ("The Manor," designed by Charles A. Platt
) is now the Glen Cove Mansion Hotel and Conference Center. George DuPont Pratt's estate, called Killenworth, was purchased by the Soviet Union
government for use by its United Nations
delegation. The Russians have used it for decades to house visitors and for weekend retreats for its UN staff. Both Nikita Khrushchev
, then premier of the Soviet Union, and Fidel Castro
, then president of Cuba, separately stayed at Killenworth in conjunction with appearances at the United Nations. Winfield Hall, the former home of F.W. Woolworth, is privately owned. The estate of Herbert L. Pratt
, The Braes, was purchased by the Webb Institute
, which operates it as a college for naval architecture.
Like many other suburbs, Glen Cove grew rapidly in population after World War II, when new residential developments were completed that replaced pastureland and farms with subdivisions. Many families were second and third-generation descendants of eastern and southern European immigrants who had moved out from Queens or Brooklyn. In the late 20th century, immigrants have come generally from Latin America
and Asia.
