Nassau County, which is located beginning from the mid part of Long Island running west to Queens County, takes up roughly 287 square miles or the Island, and is divided into three townships: Oyster Bay, Hempstead, and North Hempstead. These three townships are home to roughly 1.5 million people, per the 2000 United States Census board. These three townships are divided into 64 separate villages, with each village having its own Village Board, which is overseen by the Village Mayor. Each township, and the villages within are governed by a township supervisor and supervisory board. Also, the entire County of Nassau is governed by a 19 member Legislative Board, which is overseen by a County Executive. Nassau is the home to 56 public school districts, with the same private schools which were mentioned for Suffolk County also being available to the residents of Nassau County.
