Bethpage is located in the Town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County, Long Island. A small portion of Bethpage is included in the Town of Hempstead. The name Bethpage comes from the Quaker Thomas Powell, who named the area after the Biblical town Bethpage, which was between Jericho and Jerusalem in the Holy Land. Present-day Bethpage was part of the 1695 Bethpage Purchase. An early name for the northern section of present-day Bethpage was Bedelltown, a name that appeared on maps at least as late as 1906.
