New Cassel, New York was one of the first free African American communities on Long Island. It was founded by a group of formerly enslaved African American farmers in the mid 1700s. After World War II, it became home to a great number of successful middle class families, including many Black and Latino veterans. By the second half of the 20th century, New Cassel had become home to a growing number of Haitian and Latino families. When the adjacent village of Westbury incorporated in 1932, New Cassel chose not to be absorbed over fears that taxes would rise. As such, it would remain an unincorporated hamlet directly governed by the Town of North Hempstead in Manhasset.
