<h1 style="text-align: center;">Long Beach, <em>New York City</em></h1>
<p>One of the wealthiest counties in America is Nassau County, located on the western segment of New York&rsquo;s Long Island and home to approximately 1.3 million residents. Although Nassau was originally considered the eastern portion of Queens County, it became its own entity in 1899. With several heavily urbanized areas, the mostly suburban county is split into two cities (Long Beach and Glen Cove) and three towns (North Hempstead, Hempstead and Oyster Bay) that contain nearly 144 quaint villages and hamlets.&nbsp;</p>
<p>Ranging from grand old estates and notable gardens to light houses and post offices, the 452 square-mile Nassau County boasts more than 100 sites on the National Register of Historic Places. Not only is Nassau County full of history but it&rsquo;s also ripe with natural beauty. Of note are the beautiful white beaches of the south shore and the rugged bluffs of the north that provide a wealth of warm-weather outdoor activities for visitors and residents alike.</p>
<p>Distant from the chaos of the city, the ultra-convenient Long Island Railroad, which includes numerous lines and dozens of stops throughout Nassau County, makes it simple and easy to reach Manhattan from anywhere in the county.&nbsp;</p>
