Mayor's Message
Woodsburgh is a wonderful community rich in history with a uniquely storied past. The progress of transportation in the late 1800’s facilitated the expansion of Long Island eastward which brought New York’s affluent society looking for a place to play, relax and sport during the summer months. As such, the establishment of the south shore mansions supported the further development of social organizations such as The Rockaway Hunting Club and The Woodmere Club. These venues for hunting, fishing, boating, lawn tennis and golf still proudly remain today, over 100 years later. Notable residents including Henry Ziegler (Steinway Piano) and William Fox (Fox Film Corporation), along with a host of bankers, financiers and real estate developers have all called Woodsburgh their home. Additionally, luminaries of the day such as Diamond Jim Brady and Lillian Russell have also either been village residents or commonly known to summer at the then famous Woodsburgh Pavilion Hotel.
