Bay Shore Long Island


Bay Shore Long Island 

By Richard Boyle

The earliest building in Bay Shore is just west of the village known as Sagtikos Manor which was built in 1697.  The Sagtikos Manor was occupied by British Forces during the 18th Century and visited by George Washington in his 1790 tour. Early Settlers called it Penataquit after the native long Islander that they found living there, later changing to Awixa, then to Sodom in 1842.  It was  finally change to Bay Shore in 1868 because the population found it easier to spell. I visited Bay Shore Village in 2016 to take these photos hope you enjoy them.

Amityville Long Island 1925 – 1986           Access to Amityville by Workingclass People from the city became easier with improvements in the Long Island Railroad and with Robert Moses’s Parkways.  Jobs for the workingclass came available as America prepared for war with the opening factories as Republic Aviation, Grumman and others in the area.  So, the population of Amityville grew from the early workingclass farmers and Bay-men to the addition of factory and commuter workingclass which still makes up the population of Amityville.   \ Beautiful drawing of an aerial view of south Amityville in about 1925  An Aerial Drawing of the village area of Amityville  Looking south down Broadway on the right is the Bank of Amityville  Amityville High School from 1932 until 1953  Then a Jr School/ middle school Amityville Jr. High and elementary School   Don Thomson posted this photo on Facebook thinks photo was taken around 1936 it is for sure that it was

Amityville Long Island Amityville is the western most village in the town of Babylon in the county of Suffolk. Accord to the Amityville Historical Society Amityville was first settled by Europeans from Huntington a settlement on the north shore of Long Island then call Nassau Island in 1657. Huntington was settled in 1653 so it didn’t take long for them to wonder south.
