In the late 18th and 19th centuries, settlers began arriving on what was once the tribal territory of the Rockaway Indians, attracted to nearby fishing industries and the farming possibilities that the area's fertile land and easy access to water provided.
In 1911 the Amsterdam Development and Sales Company opened a small tract of land surrounding the railroad station, under the direction of Alfred H. Wagg. This land was the foundation for the present village of Malverne. The first land developed by the company was the Lindner farm and the first street was named Norwood Avenue which ran perpendicular to Hempstead Avenue. Malverne's first house was built on the corner of these two avenues, and was owned by Alfred H. Wagg.
The young community found itself facing many tasks before it could become an independent economic and social entity. Although there was a fire department, established in 1909 by Theodore Martine, Sr., Townsend Ackley, and Isaac Cornwall, and the beginnings of a police force existed, the problems of organizing churches, street paving, water supply, and street lighting, confronted the townspeople.
One would expect that the native farmers might resent the rapid changes proposed by the newcomers. However, it is said that the cooperation shown by the two groups was nothing less than remarkable.
In 1910, the "Dinky" replaced the steam train as the main mode of transportation for Malvernites. The "Dinky" was a single car run by an electric storage battery and it looked like an ordinary trolley car. Many people referred to it as the "Toonerville Trolley." John Hughes was the famous conductor of the "Dinky,", which was extremely temperamental and would often not operate in cold temperatures.
The First World War put a damper on Malverne's further development. The flu epidemic, the coal shortage and the general anxiety of the winter of 1918 made this a hard period for all.
After the war, the development of Malverne accelerated. It seemed that the community's biggest problem was whether or not to incorporate. Valid arguments both for and against the move were advanced at a meeting held at the Fire House on October 29, 1920. In the end, the proponents for incorporation were victorious. On December 1, an election was held, and Edward J. Christopher was elected the first village president. Also elected were trustees Charles Weber, Isaac Cornwall, John Wicks, and Eugene Dressner. The official day of incorporation was April 4, 1921. Malverne, with a population of 700, became the newest and smallest incorporated village in New York State.
Meanwhile, Malverne was expanding. Streets were paved, drainage systems installed and the village's population grew. The 1940 census showed that Malverne had achieved first class village status, with a population of 5,203. This new status brought added responsibilities for the village's administration. The house census stood at 1,444 occupied homes, 30 unoccupied and 46 under construction. The 1940 budget rose in proportion and amounted to $117,230 with the tax rate at $.87. Monthly reports on new building showed a regular increase, the new firehouse was built in 1939 and a high school was built. In recent decades, Malverne has continued to grow and prosper, keeping its identity of a shady, parklike suburb neighboring New York City.
