Note: I just found another site, which lists Mineola as the county seat,
NACo. Nassau is a NACo member, so it would seem Mineola is right... now I'm so confused... --

Yes, some of the county buildings are in the Village of Garden City (
Newsday article), yet Nassau County still claims the county seat is Mineola, which it is always listed as in documents, almanacs, etc. I don't think there's much one can do except make a note in the article that some of the buildings are outside the Village of Mineola limits. --

I agree with this conclusion; unless I'm quite confused, the county determines its county seat, so whatever the county says is by definition correct. Even if New York does it differently, there has to be some official designation; does New York designate county seats by state law, like
Vermont does for its shire towns?
