Question: What is the seat of the county that includes the villae of East Nassau, New York?
Context: Merrick Road, known as Merrick Boulevard inside New York City, is an east–west urban arterial in Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk counties, New York, United States.  It runs east from the Queens neighborhood of Jamaica through Merrick past the county line between Nassau and Suffolk into Amityville, where it becomes Montauk Highway at the Amityville–Copiague village/hamlet line.  The easternmost portion of Merrick Road, from Carman Mill Road to its eastern terminus, signed as part of New York State Route 27A (NY 27A).  At one time, the entire length of Merrick Road was signed as NY 27A; currently, the entire portion within Nassau County is currently designated as the unsigned County Route 27 (CR 27).  Merrick Road travels along an old right-of-way that was one of the original paths across southern Long Island, stretching from Queens to Montauk Point. Rockland County is the southernmost county on the west side of the Hudson River in the U.S. state of New York, part of the New York–Newark–Jersey City, NY–NJ–PA Metropolitan Statistical Area.  The county's population, as of the 2010 census, was 311,687, increasing by 4.8% to a 2016 Census estimate of 326,780, making it the third most densely populated county outside of New York City within New York State (after Nassau and neighboring Westchester counties, respectively).  The county seat is New City.  Although Rockland County does not directly border any New York City boroughs, it lies only 9 miles northwest of the city at their closest points, and is accessible via the New York State Thruway, after 10 exits.  The name derives from "rocky land", as the area was described by early Dutch and English settlers. The towns and cities of Downstate New York were created by the U.S. state of New York as municipalities in order to give residents more direct say over local government.  Present-day Westchester, Bronx, New York, Richmond, Kings, Queens, Nassau, and Suffolk counties were part of York Shire from 1664-August 1673 and again from February 1674 until 1683 at which point the Province of New York was divided into counties.  From August 1673 to February 1674 New York was under Dutch control and English political units were suspended, then restored under English rule.  York Shire was divided into three divisions called ridings, the East, West, and North ridings.  In 1683 the colony of New York eliminated shires and ridings in favor of counties, the East Riding becoming Suffolk County, West Riding the counties of Richmond and Kings, while the North Riding became the counties of Westchester (including present-day Bronx), New York, and Queens (including present-day Nassau).

The Long Island is a large, densely-populated island off the East Coast of the United States, beginning at New York Harbor just 0.35 miles (0.56 km) from Manhattan Island and extending eastward into the Atlantic Ocean.  The island comprises four counties in the U.S. state of New York: Kings and Queens (which comprise the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens, respectively) to the west; and Nassau and Suffolk to the east.  However, many people in the New York metropolitan area (even those living in Brooklyn and Queens) colloquially use the term "Long Island" (or "The Island") exclusively to refer to the Nassau–Suffolk county area collectively, which is mainly suburban in character.  The majority of New York City residents now live on Long Island. Brainard is a hamlet in the town of East Nassau, Rensselaer County, New York, United States.
