Some Historical Information About Lloyd Harbor, NY
Lloyd Harbor and Lloyd Neck were both part of the famed Gold Coast, which stretched from Great Neck to Huntington on Long Island’s North Shore. Marshall Field III, along with other great and powerful, rich and famous came here to spend their fortunes building lavish estates to accommodate their lifestyles which included opulent mansions resembling chateaus and castles with manicured landscapes, swimming pools, tennis courts, and golf courses. The late 1800’s – the early 1900’s created new millionaires with new and expanded industries and many of them came to Long Island to build. Most of these powerful families came to Long Island because it was in close proximity to Manhattan, and was a sportsman’s paradise. There were foxhunts and horseback riding in Old Westbury and Wheatley Hills. Yachting and fishing could be found off the coast of Glen Cove, Sands Point, Kings Point, and Huntington. Golfing was popular in Brookville and North Hills.
