Levittown is a neighborhood within the Town of Hempstead on Long Island, New York. As of the 2010 census, Levittown had a population of approximately 52,000 residents. Levittown founded by Abraham Levitt in 1929, and was built by the firm of Levitt & Sons, Inc. between the years of 1947 and 1951. Levittown was the first mass-produced suburb in the country and is regarded as the original example for suburbs that were built throughout the United States following World War II. There were four Levittowns built as planned communities (New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Puerto Rico), but the town in New York was the first one to be completed. Levittown quickly became a symbol of postwar America since it was one of the largest mass-produced suburbs of the time. Levittown is a huge part of American history and culture, making it a historical and noteworthy place to call home.

Historical Facts

1. Levittown was founded during segregation. When the homes were first sold, the contracts came with restrictive covenants, disallowing owners from reselling their homes to black Americans. In 1957, a white couple took Levitt & Sons to court because they wanted to sell their home to a black family. Levitt & Sons lost the case and the first black family moved into Levittown that year.
2. Homes in Levittown, for the most part, look exactly the same and have highly similar interior layouts due to the fact that all the homes were mass produced using a handful of blueprints. The homes were sold fully furnished when they first went up for sale in the 1950's.
