History

The Great Neck and Port Washington Railroad, a subsidiary of the Long Island Rail Road built what is today known as the Port Washington Branch through the community in 1898; Plandome became a flag stop until it received a station in 1909.

The Village of Plandome was incorporated in 1911. It, as well as surrounding villages Plandome Manor and Plandome Heights, derives its name from the Latin 'Planus Domus', meaning plain, or level home.

The Almeron and Olive Smith House at 50 South Drive is dated to 1907 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2006.[2]

The Plandome Fire Department is an all-volunteer fire department that was organized in 1913.[3]

The Willets Famhouse circa 1810 is still extant on Willets Lane. It was built by brewer George Willets of the Willets family of Cow Neck. The house was recently restored and is not currently landmarked.

There are many historically significant houses belonging to former financiers and industrialists within the village.
