Hicksville

Unincorporated village within Oyster Bay town, Nassau County, in southeastern New York State; population (1990) 40,200. Located in central Long Island, Hicksville lies 10 km/6 mi east-northeast of Mineola and 40 km/25 mi east of Manhattan.

Hicksville is a retailing and transportation hub for Long Island, containing some light manufacturing concerns (producing electronic devices, paper goods, and photographic equipment), together with advertising agencies and other businesses. Hicksville developed in the second half of the 19th century after the railway entrepreneur Valentine Hicks arranged to have the Long Island Rail Road pass through the area; it remained largely agricultural until the suburban boom that followed World War II.
