From Mansions to Suburbia the Massapequas 1945–1985
This book describes how the Massapequas changed from a sparsely settled locale with old mansions east of New York City into a heavily populated suburb in the forty years after World War II. As such, it represents a microcosm of the enormous social changes that took place across the United States after the war, resulting in a new lifestyle called suburban living.

Memories from a Massapequa ex-pat!
I so enjoyed reading this! My only wish (to boost it to 5 stars) would be to make it longer with more pictures. The Kirsher ice cream parlor is a Massapequa landmark, and if you visit, there are dozens of historical pictures on the walls. Massapequa boasted wonderful parades down Broadway.
