The Bulls Hotel, once located in Greenvale, was the headquarters for several teams that competed in the six celebrated Vanderbilt Cup races held on Long Island between 1906 and 1910. Founded by William K. Vanderbilt, Jr., the Vanderbilt Cup was the first international automobile competition held in the United States. The intersection of Glen Cove Road and Northern Boulevard in Greenvale, known as Bull’s Head before the Civil War, was a popular spot to view the highly popular event.
