Plandome Manor is avillage inNassau County, on theNorth Shore ofLong Island, inNew York, United States. The majority of the village is considered part of the Greater Manhasset area, which is anchored byManhasset. The easternmost portion, however, is more closely associated withPort Washington. The population was 793 at the time of the 2020 census.
TheIncorporated Village of Plandome Manor is in theTown of North Hempstead, and is the northernmost of the three Plandomes.
The Village of Plandome Manor incorporated in 1931, spurred in part by opposition to a proposal to installsanitary sewers in the area by the Manhasset Sewer District.[2][3] The following year, the village annexed the territory occupied by the Plandome Country Club, which had not been included within the limits of the original territory for the village.[4]
Like the villages ofPlandome andPlandome Heights to its south, Plandome Manor derives its name from the Latin 'Planus Domus', meaning plain, or level home.[2] The manor house ofMatthias Nicoll who was an early mayor ofNew York City and among the first generation of the Nicoll family onLong Island, was a wood-frame home built in the 1670s, and one of the first homesteads in this area of Cow Neck, the namesake of theCow Neck Peninsula (also known as the Manhasset/Port Washington Peninsula). The manor itself was torn down in 1998 and replaced with another estate.[5]
Author Frances H. Burnett, author ofThe Secret Garden, built her home, Fairseat, in Plandome Park in 1908, and lived there until her death in 1924.[3][6] Burnett's son, Vivian, and his wife Constance, had erected a home nearby on Bayview Road after their marriage. Following Frances Burnett's death, her nephew, publisher Archer P. Fahnestock moved into Fairseat, but the home burned down leaving only the stucco carriage house and garden intact. In 1940, Fahnestock sold it toLeroy Grumman.[3][6]
