After a series of various names, the townspeople settled on \"Mineola\" which is derived from the Algonquin word meaning \"pleasant village.\" In 1839, the addition of a railroad junction on the Long Island Rail Road's main line would forever change the landscape. The village of Mineola was soon recognized as an ideal place for farming, commerce, aviation, and residential life. Theodore Roosevelt, William K. Vanderbilt Jr., Glenn Curtiss, J.P. Morgan, and Henry Fonda are but a few of the famous personalities who came and left their mark on Mineola's history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Arcadia Publishing (SC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/06\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781467127448\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.60lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.20h x 6.50w x 0.30d","brand":"Margaret-Ann Farmer, Cathy Sagevick, Society Foreword by the Mineola Historic","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":41500128084149,"sku":"9781467127448","price":21.24,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_a3406db3-6967-4ad0-9981-2f980f3ceb48.jpg?v=1641273081","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/mineola-9781467127448","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
