Glen Cove is the only city on Nassau County's celebrated Gold Coast, perched on the western shore of Hempstead Harbor along Long Island Sound. Once home to the lavish Gilded Age estates of J.P. Morgan Jr., F.W. Woolworth, and other American industrialists, Glen Cove today blends that storied legacy with a vibrant, revitalized downtown and a thriving waterfront. Its rich history spans thousands of years — from the Matinecock people who first inhabited its shores to the colonial-era settlers and the robber barons who built their summer palaces here. With world-class parks, a growing restaurant scene, and direct LIRR service to Penn Station, Glen Cove is one of the North Shore's most compelling destinations.
