Courtesy of Village Historian Mitchell Schwartz:

On this day in 1931, the Village of Flower Hill — spurred by the very real risk of being absorbed and exploited through taxes by the proposed City of Port Washington — officially incorporated as a village, with her certificate of incorporation being signed in Albany by the Secretary of State.

Flower Hill’s story is one that serves as a vivid reminder of how the famous phrase of “no taxation without representation” and the concept of “government by the people, for the people,” remain pillars of what the United States stands for and core values of American society. The men and women (much to the explicit chagrin, at the time, of the Port Washington Chamber of Commerce — one of the city proposal’s staunchest supporters; it was noted by former Village Historian (and my late friend and mentor) Rhoda H. Becker, that the Chamber lamented the notion of women voting in the referendum and did not want to lose one of the proposed city’s largest sources of tax revenue) of Flower Hill exemplified this on April 27, 1931, during the incorporation vote, where all 23 voters unanimously voted “yes” to incorporating.

As stated in a 1930s lecture by our village’s founding father, Carlos W. Munson, “Maybe we did not organize a Boston Tea Party, but we did organize ourselves and we did employ counsel to go to Albany to fight the bill that would have made us vassals to an Overlord. We did suceed – the bill was killed. It was then we decided to create an independent village[,] […] and on May 25, 1931, we were given our certificate [of incorporation]."

Some 95 years later — during the 250th year of the nation famously founded on that same general principle of not wanting to become a “vassal to an overlord,” the results of our founding residents’ fight against governmental tax exploitation remain profound: Flower Hill is a thriving, proud village with self-governance and world-class services & infrastructure, while downtown Port Washington remains an unincorporated hamlet governed by the Town of North Hempstead to this very day.

Happy 95th Birthday Flower Hill!
