Since its founding in the late 17th century as a mill town; Glen Cove has been simultaneously rural and industrial; patrician and working class. A city of multiple ethnicities and close family ties; Glen Cove has been home to generations of immigrants who came to work and stayed to live; as well as to the children of America�s elite who built their summer homes on the shores of Hempstead Harbor. In Glen Cove Revisited; �The Heart of the Gold Coast� is seen as only insiders know it; through images of the mill ponds and barnyards; estates and factories; schools and neighborhoods; and the people; famous and unknown; which make up this microcosm of America.
