I thought the largest town in the US was New York City.

NYC is a defined as a City, Hempstead is legally the Town of Hempstead with its 800,000 people. Frank Sinatra called Chicago "My kind of Town", but it too is a City.

LOL...me, too. But Mr. Grok says “it’s classified as a town under New York law, functioning like a township that provides services to its subdivisions. No other U.S. town surpasses it in population.”

It is a technicality of terms. NYC is the largest city by population. Hempstead is the largest town by population. Hempstead is actually made up 22 incorporated villages (one of which is named Hempstead) and 38 hamlet (unincorporated taxing entities.)

Pop: 793,409. It is actually the second largest municipality (cites and towns) in NYS. Every thing in NYS is part of either a town or city. This is the case for most Northeastern state although some have unincorporated state managed areas. Those unincorporated areas have very few people living in them.

Nassau County is actulyy made up of just three towns and two cities. Both cities are failrly small with populations of just 33K and 27K.
