Westbury South

The hamlet of Westbury South, also known as Salisbury, is a census-designated place, or CDP, located in Hempstead. It is part of Nassau County in the Long Island region of the state of New York. The CDP covers 1,088 acres at an elevation of 108 feet or 33 meters. 

History

The area has been referred to as Salisbury officially since 1990. It was named after the Salisbury Plain in England, where Stonehenge can be found. It is part of the larger Hempstead Plains, which led to its name due to residents in the 19th century being reminded of the plains in England.
