History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

The village is near the site of the first settlement of the town, which took place circa 1760. The community was first known as "Union Village." The village was originally incorporated in the 19th Century as "Schermerhorn's Village," receiving charters in 1819 and 1866, but abandoned that village status until it more recently gained incorporation as Nassau Village.

The Albany Avenue Historic District, Chatham Street Row, and Church Street Historic District are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
