New York's 3rd congressional district – since January 3, 2013. | |
Current Representative | Tom Suozzi (D–Glen Cove) |
Cook PVI | D+1[1] |
The 3rd district of New York is a congressional district for the United States House of Representatives currently represented by Tom Suozzi.
The district includes most of the North Shore of Long Island. It expands from northwestern Suffolk County, across northern Nassau County, and into far northeastern Queens. Long Island communities in the district include Manhasset, Huntington, Northport, Commack, Dix Hills, Plainview, Bethpage, Hicksville, Syosset, Glen Cove, Roslyn, Port Washington, and Great Neck. Queens neighborhoods in the district include Little Neck, Whitestone, Glen Oaks, and Floral Park.
From 2003–2013, the district included southwestern Suffolk County and the eastern half of Nassau County, with some parts as far west as Island Park and Long Beach. Much of this area is now the 2nd district; in effect, former Democratic congressman Steve Israel traded district numbers with Republican Peter T. King.

History of the district
This district historically has been centered in northeast Nassau County, but has added other areas from time to time. In the 1960s the district encompassed the northern half of Nassau County and a small corner of Queens. In the 1970s North Hempstead town was added to the 6th District and the 3rd moved into Huntington in Suffolk County and parts of southeast Nassau County. In the 1980s most of eastern Nassau was added to the 4th District, and the 3rd was composed of northwest Nassau, a narrow corridor along LI Sound, and northwest Suffolk. After the 1992 redistricting the North Shore was transferred to the new 5th District and the 3rd consisted of inland areas of northern and eastern Nassau County, and the Nassau County south shore. An even narrower corridor linked the northwest Nassau and northwest Suffolk portion of the 5th District, leaving most of Oyster Bay in the 3rd. The 2002 remap removed some areas of eastern Nassau, but added south shore towns in Suffolk County and the shore areas of northeast Nassau. In 2012, the district moved from the South Shore to the North Shore and re-entered Queens for the first time since the 1960s.

1805–1809: two seats on general ticket with 2nd District
Note: Gurdon S. Mumford is usually listed as member from the 2nd district, and George Clinton Jr. from the 3rd district, because Clinton was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the election of Samuel L. Mitchill to the U.S. Senate, and Mitchill had been elected previously in the 3rd District. However, Mitchill was already re-elected at the United States House of Representatives elections in New York, 1804 on the 2nd/3rd general ticket, and both Clinton and Mumford were elected in special elections, receiving votes in both districts.
