Introduction to North Amityville

The hamlet of North Amityville began as African American veterans returned home from World War II ready to use their GI Bill benefits to buy a home in the suburbs of New York City.  Unfortunately, by the early 1980s the community had descended into the world of drugs and crime with open-air drug dealing at the crossroads of the community.

In 1985, those taxpaying, home owning, veterans began to fight back.

About NATA

Founded by a group of citizens in 1985 to fight the growing dilemma of drugs, crime and blight, the North Amityville Taxpayers Association Inc. seeks to serve and preserve the community of North Amityville and its surrounding areas.

Today

In 2007 the North Amityville Taxpayers Association Inc. rebranded to NATA as an Education and Community Research Center.  While we continue to work with the Police and the Town of Babylon, we accomplish our mission by focusing on individuals whose needs are not being met through other mainstream programs.  By creating new programs and customizing others, NATA believes it represents the most effective means of addressing the different needs of a widely varying public.

In all its activities, NATA is a friendly and people centric organization working for a better tomorrow for the individual and the community.
