Carle Place (also known historically as Frog Hollow and Mineola Park) is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of North Hempstead in Nassau County, on Long Island, in New York, United States. The CDP’s population was 4,981 at the 2010 census.

In 1946, developer William J. Levitt bought 19 acres of land close the Carle Place train station for an experiment. His crews brought pre-cut lumber to the site and hurriedly assembled 600 low-cost houses, offering affordable suburban living later than an easy commute into offices in New York City. Within five years, returning veterans and their families swelled the population by 500 percent. It transformed Carle Place, and served as the prototype for Levittown, the larger take forward which Levitt began the subsequent to year and no-one else a few miles away.

The hamlet is named for Silas Carle, or (more specifically) the Carle House – a 32-room home built by Carle in Westbury in the 1800s. It was commonly known as the “Carle Place”, and the surrounding Place later took the name.

The area was nom de plume Mineola Park amid ca. 1895 and 1915, after an unsuccessful genuine estate go forward of the same name within the hamlet. The post was reverted to Carle Place in 1915, and there was by yourself one further attempt to fine-tune it, which took place in 1951 after Levitt & Sons purchased and developed much of the Place consisting of the failed development. The proposal failed, as the majority of residents preferred keeping the name, and no attempts to correct it have taken place since.
