Kings Point is a village in Nassau County, New York on the North Shore of Long Island. As of the United States 2010 Census, the village population was 5,005.
The Village of Kings Point is in the Town of North Hempstead. It is on the Great Neck Peninsula on the North Shore of Long Island and is often erroneously grouped together with the other hamlets and villages referred to collectively as "Great Neck". This occurs likely because the village is served by Great Neck School District, with resident students attending Great Neck North High School and receives postal service from the US Post Office in Great Neck. Kings Point is however, an acceptable city for the 11024 ZIP Code.
Kings Point is the home of the United States Merchant Marine Academy and its maritime museum.
The founder of W. R. Grace and Company, and former New York City mayor, W.R. Grace, lived in Kings Point. It was during this time he accepted the Statue of Liberty from the people of France. A custom home built for Grace in 1880 features 11 fireplaces and a five-car garage on a nearly two acre property. It is located on Blue Sea Lane and known as "Grace Mansion".
The Great Neck North Middle School is located on the border of Great Neck Village and Kings Point.
Kings Point is located at 40°48′56″N 73°44′16″W / 40.815655°N 73.737725°W.
