Welcome to Mineola.
It was in 1858 when this land became known as Mineola, named after an Algonquin Indian Chief, Miniolagamika meaning, “Pleasant Village.”
The name was later shortened and altered to “Mineola.” The Village was legally incorporated in 1906. Mineola is home to a diverse community of people, and this is reflected in the diverse array of businesses in our downtown. There are over 200 members in the Mineola Chamber of commerce ranging from Accounting to Wedding services and countless more services.
We are home to a variety of authentic Portuguese restaurants, Traditional Tacos, Superb Italian food,
An authentic Diner on the historical registry, Colombian, and All-American fare.
We have locally owned specialty pharmacies, a unique Vintage Goods store, a variety of delicatessens, highly regarded dentists, optometrists, podiatrists, hair and nail salons, florists, insurance agents, Toy and Hobby shop, and when it’s gets cold, we have you covered with our own family-owned furrier.
When you are ready for a break from shopping locally, visit our Craft Brewery right in town…..the list goes on… In other words, Mineola has something for everyone!
The Mineola Chamber of Commerce hosts numerous events throughout the year, including our annual Fall Street Fair on Jericho Turnpike with vendors, a variety of food and refreshments, family attractions, and a car show.
Our golf outing in conjunction with Mineola Kiwanis honors outstanding people in our community at the Harbor Links Golf Club and our monthly dinner meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at one of Mineola’s great restaurants.
The chamber supports our high schools with two student cash awards each year and of course, we organize numerous ribbon-cutting ceremonies welcoming new businesses in Mineola. We invite you to visit our website www.mineolachamber.com for details on all of our events.
