East Hills is a village in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, in New York, United States.

Aviation pioneer Charles A. Lindbergh rested at the Mackay estate in 1927 after returning to the United States following his historic solo flight to Paris, France.

[2] The Village of East Hills was incorporated on June 24, 1931, and its first election was held a couple weeks later on July 8 in barns at the Mackay estate.

[2][3] Reasons for incorporating included the desire by many locals to be excluded from paying taxes for sanitary sewer systems, highways, etc., the desire to not be part of the Roslyn Sewer District and to keep businesses out, and to maintain local control through municipal home rule powers.

[3] The post-war era ushered in a huge population boom and suburbanization throughout the United States, which led to the construction of many new developments in the Village of East Hills.

[4][8] On Labor Day 2006, the Park at East Hills opened on the land previously occupied by the Roslyn Air National Guard Station.

The construction of the park was financed through the sale of bonds; carrying and operating costs are paid through taxes.

[9] According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 2.28 square miles (5.9 km2), all land.

[11][12] The portions of the village on Harbor Hill, the former site of Clarence Mackay's eponymous estate, are among the highest areas in Nassau County and on Long Island, as a whole.

[24][26][29] East Hills is located entirely within New York's 3rd Congressional district, which as of March 2024 is represented in the United States Congress by Thomas R. Suozzi (D–Glen Cove).

[24][30] Like the rest of New York, East Hills is represented in the United States Senate by Charles Schumer (D) and Kirsten Gillibrand (D).

[24] East Hills is primarily within the boundaries of (and is thus served by) the Roslyn Union Free School District.

[24] While there are no Long Island Rail Road stations located within the village limits, the Oyster Bay Branch does form portions of the Roslyn–East Hills border.

[24] East Hills is served by the n20H and n27 bus routes, which are operated by Nassau Inter-County Express (NICE).

[36] PSEG Long Island provides power to all homes and businesses within the Village of East Hills.

[24] Despite the fact that the Mackay family's Stanford White-designed mansion was demolished prior to the construction of the Country Estates subdivision, a number of remaining buildings from the former Harbor Hill estate still stand –three of which were listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991:[41] Another landmark in East Hills is the Townsend Cemetery, located near the northeastern corner of the village.
