Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Seaford, NY

Seaford is a hamlet and census-designated place in the Town of Hempstead in Nassau County, New York, on Long Island.

The Marsapeaque people called the Seaford area "Great Water Land."

Seaford is named for Seaford in East Sussex, England, the hometown of Captain John Seaman, who obtained the original land patent; the community, earlier known as Jerusalem South and Seaman's Neck, was renamed Seaford in 1868.

The 2020 census counted 15,251 people in Seaford, living in 5,293 households.

Census survey estimates for 2020-2024 counted about 5,227 households in Seaford, averaging 2.96 people per household.

Seaford remained a farming community through the 19th century, but the opening of Sunrise Highway in 1929 transformed it: from about 1,200 residents before 1929, the population tripled within 25 years.

In the mid-19th century, Seaford's baymen developed the round-bottomed "Seaford skiff," a boat designed for fishing and market gunning in the local bays.

Seaford's Sportsman's Hotel and Powell Hotel once drew celebrity duck hunters to its bays, including Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig and Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert.

Seaford's green spaces include Cedar Creek Park, the Tackapausha Preserve and Washington Avenue Park, along with town-owned Seaman's Neck Park.

The Seaford Union Free School District runs Seaford High School, and the hamlet's St. William the Abbot Catholic School was founded in 1954.
