Hicksville is part of Oyster Bay. Is Levittown part of Hicksville? Is Levittown part of Oyster Bay? See also Talk:Billy Joel. Locarno 14:51, 19 June 2006 (UTC)

Levittown is an unincorporated town that corresponds to a zip code. Historically its a housing development that spans several town lines. Some links that can be useful [1] [2],[3] Mrdthree 02:50, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

So part of Levittown is in Hicksville, part in East Meadow, and part in North Wantagh. All of Levittown is in Oyster Bay. Correct? Locarno 13:58, 20 June 2006 (UTC)
It seems to be the case that officially it is a postal zone in the town of Hampstead in Nassau County. [4]Mrdthree 16:16, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

I grew up in Bethpage, and went to Island Trees schools.

"Levittown" the unincorporated hamlet/ZIP code is all in the town of Hempstead. There are parts of the Levitt Development in Oyster Bay Town -- for example the parts of the Levitt development in Hicksville and Westbury. --Amcalabrese 20:22, 4 September 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No Principals

No Principals, the education section looks like a mess now. This is an article about levittown not principles in the school districts. That information should be left on the articles about the various schools. (Sullynyflhi 22:29, 16 May 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Little Boxes

My father is from Levittown and he was one of the original residents. He told me one day when we were watching tv that the song "little boxes", the now Weeds theme song was written about Levittown. I don't know how to look it up or anything and I think it would be interesting trivia to add to this article if someone will look it up. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.164.197.120 (talk) 23:51, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

According to the Little Boxes article, it was written about Daly City, California (which makes sense considering the author was from California). If you find any real source that says it's about Levittown, feel free to add that information. One of the External Links on this page makes a reference to the song; certainly, people have interpreted the song as being about places like Levittown. --Tanketz 21:13, 1 November 2007 (UTC)
