About Us

The earliest record of a Locustwood community group dates prior to 1882 predating the creation of the community of Elmont. In 1989, the community civic groups of Locustwood and Gotham merged together to form: The Locustwood / Gotham Civic Association. Since 1974, the Locustwood Civic has been recognized by the State of New York, in the County of Nassau and Town of Hempstead, as a non-for-profit domestic community organization. Prior to that, existed the Locustwood Estates Community Development and preservation group founded in 1929.

The Association represents over 1,500 homes in the western section of Elmont and represents the area by Belmont Park. We represent the community's interests in preserving and maintaining the social, economic, and civic status of the community. We seek to maintain the highest standards for the community. That is why we are called:

"The Voice of the People."
