The six Vanderbilt Cup Races held on Long Island from 1904 to 1910 were the greatest sporting events of their day, and the first international automobile road races held in the United States. The races had a far-reaching impact on the development of American automobiles and parkways. This site provides comprehensive information on the races, the Long Island Motor Parkway and current Long Island automotive events, car shows and news.

The beginnings of Levittown. The photographer is looking east. It looks like the first phase of construction was completed, but there is still a lot of farmland surrounding it, so I’ll give the date as late 1947 or early 1948.
I see the Wantagh Parkway, North Bellmore Road, Newbridge Road, and Old Westbury Road at the lower right. Motor Parkway and the old Central Rail Road are at the lower middle. Motor Parkway also seen at extreme left, as it curved left towards the NE then right towards the E. Hempstead Turnpike at the upper right.
Two spots with no roads or houses would become the Azalea Road pool (the smaller spot), and the Village Green (the larger spot).

We are looking east over today’s Levittown. The date should be around late 1947 since the first section new homes appears to be complete. Structures include L.I. Aviation Country Club, and the Newbridge Road, Jerusalem Ave. and Bloomingdale Road bridges. The Newbridge and Jerusalem bridges came down just about the same time as the photo with Bloomingdale about a year or two later. In addition to the LIMP remnants, other major roads include Hempstead Tpke., and Wantagh State Parkway.
