Glen Cove was founded in 1668 by Joseph Carpenter and four other settlers, who purchased the land from the Matinecock Indians. They named the settlement Musketa Cove, meaning “place of rushes” in the native language. They built a saw mill and a grist mill on the Glen Cove Creek, and used the harbor to ship lumber to New York City.

In 1834, the name of the settlement was changed to Glen Cove, to attract more residents from the city. Glen Cove became a popular destination for wealthy families, who built lavish country estates along the waterfront, creating the Gold Coast of Long Island. Some of the notable residents of Glen Cove including J.P. Morgan.

In 1918, Glen Cove became an independent city, separating from the Town of Oyster Bay. It was the site of several successful manufacturing facilities, such as the Duryea Motor Wagon Company, the American Hard Rubber Company, and the Li Tungsten Corporation. It also attracted many immigrants from Ireland, Italy, and Eastern Europe, who worked in the industries, local agriculture, and retail businesses4
