Mayor Gordon Fox

Welcome to the Village of East Rockaway’s new digital home. My administration provides our residents and taxpayers with stellar municipal services in the most cost-effective way possible. From our humble beginnings in 1869, when the term “East Rockaway” was combined for the very first time to refer to our area, to our incorporation as a village in 1900, our community has proudly embraced its rich past and nautical heritage. Our village thrives through its four core business districts – from Main Street to our bustling Waterfront, and from Atlantic to Centre Avenues. These areas, along with our vibrant neighborhoods, parks and open space, marina, recreation offerings, senior enrichment services, and other learning opportunities – in addition to our civic organizations and tight-knit community atmosphere – make the Village of East Rockaway a wonderful place to live, work, raise a family, and retire. Thank you for visiting us! We hope you find the information and resources here helpful and engaging. If the Village Board or I can ever be of assistance to you, give us a call at 516-887-6300 or e-mail us.

Mayor Gordon Fox had the pleasure of visiting Centre Avenue Elementary School this week to speak with a 5th grade class that has just begun their unit on local government.
Thank you to the teachers and administrators for creating this opportunity for students to learn firsthand about how local government works. Mayor Fox enjoyed meeting the students and discussing the responsibilities that come with serving our community, as well as how local decisions impact our town each day.
The students asked thoughtful questions and showed a genuine interest in how they can become engaged members of their community. It was a great experience, and we look forward to seeing the next generation of leaders grow right here in our village!
Celebrating 75 years of service, community, and dedication 💙 Mayor Gordon Fox and the East Rockaway Village Board of Trustees were honored to attend a special dinner recognizing the East Rockaway Kiwanis on their 75th Anniversary. For decades, Kiwanis has made a lasting impact on our community through service, generosity, and a commitment to improving the lives of others—especially children. A special thank you to our Village Clerk Theresa Gaffney for her continued commitment to Kiwanis and for her hard work in organizing such a wonderful and memorable evening. We congratulate the East Rockaway Kiwanis on this incredible milestone and thank them for all they do. Here’s to many more years of making a difference! #EastRockaway #Kiwanis #CommunityStrong #75YearsOfService
