History
[
edit
]
Lido Beach was developed by
William H. Reynolds
, in the early 1900s.
[2]
The 39-year-old former state senator and real estate developer had already developed four Brooklyn neighborhoods (
Bedford-Stuyvesant
,
Borough Park
,
Bensonhurst
, and
South Brownsville
), as well as
Coney Island
's
Dreamland
, the world's largest amusement park. Reynolds also owned a theater and produced plays.
[2]
Beginning in 1906, he gathered investors and acquired the oceanfront from private owners and the rest of
Long Beach
island from the
Town of Hempstead
.
[2]
He planned to build a
boardwalk
, homes, and hotels, and dredged
Reynolds Channel
to create the
Long Beach, New York
resort area.
[2]
The dredging made the island more accessible to leisure boating.
The Lido Beach community was named after
Venice Lido
in Italy; "lido" means beach in Italian.
[2]
In 1929, after Reynolds was defeated for re-election as the Long Beach mayor, he turned his attention to the unincorporated area just east of the city and constructed the Moorish-style Lido Beach Hotel.
