[edit] History
The first settlers arrived in the 17th Century. The village was established in 1911. The Village of Saddle Rock is so named for an offshore boulder that gives the appearance of a saddle, first noted on a map in 1658. The Village is also home to an old mill. Officially known as the Saddle Rock Grist Mill, it was built circa 1700 and is located inside a small cove the opens onto Little Neck Bay off Long Island Sound.
The Mill is listed in the Federal Historical Landmark Registry and it is the oldest continually operating tidal grist mill in the United States. The Mill is now owned and operated by Nassau County as a working museum open to the public. The last private individual to own the Mill was Louise Udall Eldridge, who was elected Mayor of the Village of Saddle Rock after its incorporation. Louise Eldridge is reported to have been the first female Mayor in the State of New York. The mill has been restored to its mid-19th century appearance and is located on Grist Mill Lane in Saddle Rock.
