Biohazard and Crime Scene Remediation in Muttontown, NY

Muttontown is an incorporated village within the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County, on the North Shore of Long Island, New York, and is considered part of Long Island's famed "Gold Coast."

Muttontown takes its name from its colonial-era use as pasture for sheep raised for wool and mutton; the area was earlier inhabited by the Matinecock Native Americans and settled by European colonists in the 1600s.

The village was incorporated on August 31, 1931, largely to preserve its low-density, estate character as Nassau County suburbanized.

Muttontown had 3,512 residents at the 2020 census, spread across 6.1 square miles of rolling, wooded estate land.

At the 2010 census, Muttontown's 3,497 residents lived in just 1,202 households, reflecting its large-lot, single-family character.

The Muttontown Preserve, at more than 550 acres of fields, woodlands and former estate grounds, is Nassau County's largest nature preserve and forms the village's green heart.

Inside the preserve stands Chelsea Mansion, the former home of Alexandra and Benjamin Moore; the Benjamin Moore Estate was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979, and Moore himself served as Muttontown's first mayor.

King Zog of Albania bought Muttontown's grand Knollwood Estate in 1951, though he sold it again in 1955 without ever building his planned royal court there.

Muttontown has been ranked among the wealthiest communities in America, including a 2009 BusinessWeek ranking of America's richest towns.

Muttontown has no school district of its own; its children attend the Jericho, Syosset or Locust Valley school districts.
