Albertson began in 1644 when a settler from Connecticut came to live there, his name was John Seren. Soon a farm and gristmill began and the ,Long Island Railroad included the Albertson train station in 1864. This brought industry and residents to Albertson. By 1908 the first parkway was built, which was replaced in 1940 by the Northern State Parkway. Farms still thrived in Albertson until the mid-1960s. By the 1990s a large arrival of Chinese and Indian immigrants came to the western part of Albertson making Cold Spring Harbor and Great Neck have the most Asian populated schools in Nassau County.
