This marked the first gradual cultural shift in Foster\u2019s Meadow with the establishment of a community of predominantly\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/English_people\">English<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Protestant\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Protestant<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Farmers\" class=\"mw-redirect\">farmers<\/a>, and their families. In 1683,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Long_Island\">Long Island<\/a>\u00a0was divided into three counties, Kings, Queens, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Suffolk_County,_New_York\">Suffolk County<\/a>. Under this new structure, Foster\u2019s Meadow was originally part of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Queens\">Queens County<\/a>. During 1790\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/George_Washington\">George Washington<\/a>\u00a0passed through the town while touring to the east on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Long_Island\">Long Island<\/a>. The current boundaries of Elmont were decided upon in 1898; at this point,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Nassau_County,_New_York\">Nassau County<\/a>was created, leading to conflict over land, and monies owed as a result of Elmont\u2019s boundary shift from Queens.<\/p><p>It was during the mid-19th century that Foster\u2019s Meadow experienced its second cultural shift. There was an influx of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roman_Catholic\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Roman Catholic<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Ashkenazi_Jewish\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Ashkenazi Jewish<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Farmers\" class=\"mw-redirect\">farmers<\/a>\u00a0from Brooklyn and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Middle_Village,_Queens\">Middle Village<\/a>\u00a0to the west.

The Church of the Nativity of Our Lord Jesus Christ was built in 1852, during the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wittelsbach_Dynasty\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Wittelsbach Dynasty<\/a>. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roman_Catholic_Church\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Roman Catholic Church<\/a>\u00a0was re-dedicated as\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Saint_Boniface\">Saint Boniface<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Roman_Catholic\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Roman Catholic<\/a>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Parish\">Parish<\/a>, in honor of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Patron_Saint\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Patron Saint<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Germany\">Germany<\/a>, in 1857. The Parish provided a focal point for the gradual development of a Catholic population base. Rev. Peter Hartraub was the founding pastor, and was appointed the first resident pastor of Foster\u2019s Meadow in 1858. Rev. Peter Hartraub built a new rectory and, in 1887, a new school with four classrooms on the first floor and an auditorium on the second. The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Dominican_Sisters\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Dominican Sisters<\/a>were invited to teach in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Catholic_School\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Catholic School<\/a>, and they built a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Convent\">convent<\/a>\u00a0on parish land donated to them.<\/p><p>The community underwent its next political reshuffling in 1882, being subdivided into districts with unique names and boundaries (including\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Alden_Manor&action=edit&redlink=1\" class=\"new\">Alden Manor<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Locustwood\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Locustwood<\/a>); it was at this time that Foster\u2019s Meadow was renamed Elmont. In 1902, a syndicate headed by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/August_Belmont_Jr.\">August Belmont Jr.<\/a>\u00a0and former\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Secretary_of_the_Navy\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Secretary of the Navy<\/a><a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/William_C._Whitney\" class=\"mw-redirect\">William C. Whitney<\/a>\u00a0sought land on Long Island to build the most elaborate racetrack in America, one modeled after the great race courses of Europe. They found what they were looking for on the border of Queens County and Nassau County.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Belmont_Racetrack\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Belmont Racetrack<\/a>, was arguably the most significant milestone in the development of modern-day Elmont. Originally known as Foster\u2019s Meadow, the 650 acres of land included\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=Oaklands_(mansion)&action=edit&redlink=1\" class=\"new\">Oaklands<\/a>, a turreted Tudor-Gothic mansion owned by\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/w\/index.php?title=William_de_Forest_Manice&action=edit&redlink=1\" class=\"new\">William de Forest Manice<\/a>, which was to serve as the track\u2019s Turf and Field Club until 1956.<\/p><p>With the opening of\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Belmont_Park\">Belmont Park<\/a>\u00a0in 1905, Elmont reached a turning point in its history. The farms were sold, and subdivided for houses. Most of the new homes were owned by people, who worked at Belmont Racetrack. Many businesses were formed on\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hempstead_Turnpike\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Hempstead Turnpike<\/a>, to support the blooming suburban location. By 1915, the Racetrack was opened to the public, attracting both visitors and migrant workers to the area. Housing developments, and businesses grew in the area surrounding the racetrack to meet the needs of these workers; this process of development to meet the workers\u2019 needs continued in successive waves, ultimately representing a shift in Elmont from rural farmland to suburbia.<\/p><p>In 1910,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Belmont_Racetrack\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Belmont Racetrack<\/a>\u00a0hosted the first\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Air_race\" class=\"mw-redirect\">air race<\/a>ever in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/United_States\">United States of America<\/a>.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Wright_brothers\">Wilbur and Orville Wright<\/a>\u00a0staged an international aerial competition at Belmont Park that drew 150 000 spectators.

Total receipts that day were between $25 million and $30 million.\u00a0<\/p><p>After the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Second_World_War\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Second World War<\/a>, Elmont hosted widespread development of attractive suburban tract homes. Many of these homes were constructed with a brick-veneer ground story in variations of the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cape_Cod_(house)\">Cape Cod style<\/a>, particularly around Dutch Broadway. On\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Hempstead_Turnpike\" class=\"mw-redirect\">Hempstead Turnpike<\/a>, older smaller shingled homes cluster near\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Belmont_Park\">Belmont Park<\/a>.<\/p><p>In 2017, New York State\u2019s Development Corporation (<a href=\"https:\/\/en.m.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Empire_State_Development_Corporation\">Empire State Development<\/a>) issued a Request for Proposals for a part of the Belmont Park Property to redevelop land on the property that would enhance the Park and surrounding communities.
