History


In the early 1970s, several Uniondale residents attempted to incorporate their hamlet as a village, citing dissatisfaction with the way their community was being represented on the board of the committee for redeveloping Mitchel Field, regarding matters like policies and the plans. Their incorporation plans were unsuccessful, and Uniondale remains an unincorporated hamlet governed by the Town of Hempstead. The community unsuccessfully tried incorporating itself as a village in the 1970s.




Geography



According to the United States Census Bureau, the CDP had a total area of 2.7 square miles (7.0 km2), all land.
The Uniondale CDP gained territory between the 2010 census and the 2020 census, due to the former CDP of East Garden City being absorbed by the CDP of Uniondale.




Economy


Lufthansa United States has its headquarters in Uniondale, moving to the hamlet from adjacent East Meadow in 2019.
At one point, Swiss International Air Lines operated its United States office at 776 RexCorp Plaza in the EAB Plaza in Uniondale. The airline moved its offices from 41 Pinelawn Road in Melville, Suffolk County, around 2002.
