The Nassau County Courthouse is a courthouse in Nassau County, on Long Island, in New York, United States. It is located at 262 Old Country Road in the Village of Garden City – although it uses the Mineola, New York 11501 ZIP Code and post office.[1][2][3][4]

History

The Nassau County Courthouse was built in 1940, after the older Nassau County Courthouse was determined to be too small for the needs of a rapidly-growing Nassau County.[5] The building was constructed as part of a Public Works Administration project, along with the other two structures built at the complex as part of the project.[5]

The County of Nassau hired architect and county resident Lawrence Lincoln in 1938 to design the new complex.[5]

The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in March 2021.[5][6][7]
