The House Survey Process
Types of House Surveys
Not all property surveys are created equal. A boundary survey precisely defines your property lines, while a topographic survey reveals the contours and features of your land. An Elevation Certificate may be required for flood insurance. Islandwide Land Surveyors can help you choose the right survey for your unique situation.

What is now Franklin Square was near the center of the Hempstead Plains, and used as grazing land, and later farmland, by the first white settlers. The southern portion included oak and dogwood forests.
In late 1643, Robert Fordham and John Carman made a treaty with members of the Massapequak, Mericoke, Matinecock and Rockaway tribes to buy roughly 100 square miles upon which they intended to start a new settlement. They purchased this tract, including much of what are now the towns of Hempstead and North Hempstead.
In 1790, George Washington passed through the town while touring Long Island. He wrote in his diary that the area was “entirely treeless except for a few scraggly fruit trees.” Walt Whitman spent three months in the spring of 1840 as the schoolmaster of the Trimming Square school district, in the area where Franklin Square, Garden City South and West Hempstead intersect.
