History[edit]

Transportation[edit]
Although the Long Island Rail Road tracks bisect the town, there is no stop in the hamlet. A station existed briefly during the 19th century,[citation needed] and the western portion of the community is within walking distance of the Westbury station. As such, the northern portion of New Cassel is served by the n22 and n22X routes along Prospect Avenue, while the southern portion is served by the N24 along Old Country Road. All of those routes travel between Hicksville and Jamaica.
