The Valley Road Historic District is a national historic district located along Community Drive (historically known as Valley Road) in Manhasset, in Nassau County, New York.
It includes the Lakeville A.M.E. Zionist Church – one of Nassau County's oldest churches – and its cemetery.
[2][3] The historic district is best known for its contributions to Long Island's and New York's African American history.
