Hempstead, New York, was named after the village of Hempstead in England, which itself likely derives its name from the Old English term "hemp," referring to the hemp plant. The area was settled by English colonists in the 1600s, and Hempstead became one of the largest towns in Nassau County. The name reflects the region's agricultural roots and the settlers' origins.
