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.

Patchogue Long Island By Richard Boyle The first of the European invaders it seems arrived around 1663, like many other villages of Long Island fishing, Oysters and calming was the main occupations.  I had heard that the name Patchogue was the original Long Island native's word for land of many lakes, but I am not sure that is true. There did develop an industry around the lakes where Mills were built the most famous one being the Lace Mill. When the Long Island Railroad reached Patchogue in 1860 New York City wealthy came out to enjoy the waterfront.  Later in the 20th century Patchogue like many other Long Island villages became what is called a bedroom community for the people that worked in the city.     Welcome to Patchogue sign on Sunrise and Ocean Ave. The Lace Mill Patchogue Long Island. The mill started back in 18th Century as a small paddle wheel cotton mill and grew through the years into the Lace Mill which closed after a series of fires in the 197
