The Village of Saddle Rock is located on the northwest shore of the Great Neck peninsula, in Nassau County, Long Island, New York. Saddle Rock, incorporated in 1911, is the oldest of the nine Great Neck peninsula Villages. Saddle Rock's history can be traced back to the 1600's. The name "Saddle Rock" was derived from a large "saddle" shaped rock located just a few yards off shore in Little Neck Bay, and is noted on a map of the peninsula dated 1658.

The Village is exclusively residential. The private, single-family homes, originally developed in the 1950's, were carefully located on the hills of the Village in order to maintain open space and maximum views of the water and the New York City skyline. A public Authority supplies drinking water from deep wells within the aquifer, and all homes are connected to a district sewer facility. The Village is served by the Nassau County Police Department. Fire and ambulance services are provided by the Alert and Vigilant Fire Companies.

Saddle Rock is only 22 minutes from Manhattan by Long Island Railroad; just minutes away from major north shore highways, and Kennedy and LaGuardia airports are easily accessible. The Village is part of the larger Great Neck community and the magnificent shopping areas, libraries, schools and houses of worship located on the peninsula. The Saddle Rock elementary, North Middle, and North High schools, as well as the Great Neck library, and many houses of worship are within easy walking distance of the Village of Saddle Rock.
