Manhasset is a heavily Catholic community, which caused some tension when the North Hempstead Supervisor objected to a priest's blessing at a 2005 Christmas tree lighting in the village.
History
19th century Manhasset was a farming community on the valley road (now Community Drive) from Hyde Park and Success Pond (now New Hyde Park and Lake Success) to Manhasset Bay, an inlet of Long Island Sound between the Great Neck and Cow Neck peninsulas. This was one of the passes through the line of hills separating the Hempstead Plains of Long Island from its North Shore. In 1898 the Long Island Rail Road built a high trestle (still the highest railroad bridge on Long Island) to carry a single track extension of the Great Neck line over the southern tip of Manhasset Bay and through the high land of Cow Neck to Port Washington. A station was built in the village as a result of this.
In the 1920s, when a few pioneering commuters from the City started turning a lowland rural community into a highland commuter town. A commercial district developed along Plandome Road. New public buildings appeared, including a red brick elementary school, a Town Hall for North Hempstead, a Post Office, and a telephone exchange for the peninsula. With Manhasset recentered upon Cow Neck, the old name for the high land was forgotten and the Valley withered. Commerce on Plandome Road declined in the late 20th century as the "Miracle Mile" on Northern Boulevard became more important. The Public Library moved half a mile south from Onderdonk Avenue to Northern Boulevard.
"Manhasset Press" is the community's local paper published weekly by Anton News.[2]. The SCA Fair is also an annual tradition in the town. [3]
The Manhasset School District covers not only the unincorporated areas discussed in the census reports, but several incorporated villages including Plandome, Plandome Manor, Munsey Park and part of Flower Hill. The Valley School, serving Manhasset's African American community, was closed in the 1960s by a desegregation lawsuit. The centrally located and antiquated Plandome Road School was demolished in the 1970's, having been replaced by the new Shelter Rock School.
The St. Mary's High School Varsity Hockey team has won the NY State Championship for 9 straight years; and 12 State Championships in 13 years, from 1995-1997 and 1999-2007.
The St. Mary's High School Boys Varsity Basketball team has won 5 consecutive Long Island CHSAA Varsity Basketball Championships which launched it to its 2nd state Basketball Championship in 3 years.
The main village of Manhasset is situated around Plandome Road which contains several bakeries, pizzerias, delis, bars, coffee shops, and a movie theatre. Centralized in town is a small park and a landmark gazebo where the LIRR connects directly into Manhattan for a 28-minute commute.

Long Island has a climate that is very similar to other coastal areas of the Northeastern United States; it has warm, humid summers and cold winters, but the Atlantic Ocean helps bring afternoon sea breezes that temper the heat in the warmer months and limit the frequency and severity of thunderstorms. In the wintertime, temperatures are warmer than areas further inland (especially in the night and early morning hours), sometimes causing a snowstorm further inland to fall as rain on the island. However, measurable snow falls every winter, and in many winters one or more intense storms called Nor'easters produce blizzard conditions with snowfalls of 1-2 feet (30-60 cm) and near-hurricane force winds. Long Island temperatures also vary from west to east, with the western part of the island warmer on most occasions than the east. This is due to two factors; one because the western part is closer to the mainland and the other is the western part is more developed causing what is known as the "urban heat island" effect. The eastern part is cooler on most occasions due to the ocean and sound and it being less developed.
