Malverne Village
Malverne is a town located on the southern part of Long Island. It is relatively close to New York City and very close to some of the best beaches in New York. Many of the Towns first residents were farmers. Around the late 1800s the town was commonly called “Skunk’s Misery” because of all the manure the farmers bought. As the development of industrialization occurred the Gaddis administration of Malverne prevented a coal company from moving in and creating a business. This was the beginning of keeping Malverne a small town without any big businesses.
