There is also a village named Hempstead inside the town.

The town was first settled around 1644 following the establishment of a treaty between English colonists, John Carman and Robert Fordham, and the Indians in 1643. Although the settlers were from the English colony of Connecticut, a patent was issued by New Amsterdam after the settlers had purchased land from the local natives. The town may have been named for either Hemel Hempstead, England or the Dutch city of Heemstede. Some other suggestions regarding the origins of the name include one referencing a law during colonial times, requiring all farmers in the town to alternate one year, growing their cash crop, and the other year, growing hemp to replenish the soil. This method of soil regeneration was known as cover cropping.
