A Brief History of Hicksville
Hicksville, named after Valentine Hicks, became a significant transportation center point when he purchased land in the town in 1834 and transformed it into a station stop on the Long Island Rail Road (LIRR) in 1837. Initially serving as a warehouse for produce, Hicksville evolved into a bustling New York City suburb during the housing boom following World War II. Today, Hicksville offers an ideal setting for families, combining rural charm with proximity to nearby Levittown. Over the years, significant efforts have been made to revitalize the downtown area.
