First things first. There is no such town as, "Port Washington, New York". (This will come as a shock to those of use who live here.) There is a zip code for Port Washington, 11050, that includes
almost all of the peninsula. That comes close, but isn't quite inclusive enough. The school district, for example, has students that live in what the Post Office considers our neighboring town, Manhasset. There is no
town hall but actually five villages, Sands Point, Manorhaven, Port Washington North, Baxter Estates, Flower Hill and areas that are directly governed by the Town of North Hempstead. We've also got special districts for Water, Sewage, and a number of volunteer fire departments and a medic department. The Port Washington Police cover most of Port Washington ... except for Manorhaven which uses Nassau County police and Sands Point who have their own force.
The bottom line is that government in Port Washington is rather confusing.
