Malverne is a village in the town of Hempstead in Nassau County, New York with a population of 8,934 as of the 2000 census. Originally named Norwood, the village got its current name from two developers, Mr. Alfred H. Wagg and a Mr. Ernest Childs who named the village after the English town Malvern. Malvern meaning “green mall” or “green park”. The village was officially incorporated on April 13, 1921.

The current Ocean Avenue of Malverne served as a Native American path for the original Rockaway Indians who first settled the area. The Cornwell family then moved into the area in the 1790s and began farming the area. The Cornwell family was a newspaper publishing and political family in the United States who was important to early development. James Cornwell helped to move the family to ,Long Island. Other notable families of Malverne history include the Riders, the Wicks and the Nostrands.

Early Malverne industry brought a great deal of farmers to the area because of its fertile soil. The town dodged the threat of collapse during the Great Depression with the leadership of Mayor Hamilton Gaddis who introduced an increase of property value, a reasonable taxing system and keeping big coal companies out. This precedent set up a standard of small-town living, which Malverne upholds today.

Many of its current residents commute to New York City because of its easy 45-minute train ride and proximity to white sand beaches. The current mayor of Malverne is Mayor Patricis Ann Norris-McDonald with Deputy Mayor James J. Callahan, Trustee Michael T. Bailey, Trustee Joseph J. Hennessy, Trustee John O-Brien and Judge James W. Dougherty. The village is served by its own police department, Volunteer Fire Department, Volunteer Ambulance Corps, Police Reserve, Department of Public Works and Public Library.

Notable residents include actor Tony Danza, baseball player Al Cuccinello, publisher Woody Gelman, cartoonist Frank Springer and author Frank Scoblete. Malverne was also a home to vaudeville voyaging the Brown Derby restaurant, which later opened another, more famous location in Los Angeles.
