When looking for Lindenhurst, you will find this village within Suffolk County in the state of New York. It is located in the town of Babylon and along the southern shoreline of Long Island. According to the United States Census taken in 2010, Lindenhurst, NY, had a population of 27,253 people. The official title of this village is the Incorporated Village of Lindenhurst, and it has a total area of about 3.8 square miles, with 0.1 square miles being water. 

There is a Lot Behind the History of Lindenhurst, New York

Lindenhurst's roots go back to the Massapequa and Secatogue Indian tribes when they used to forage the Lindenhurst woods for food. This area was called Neguntatogue at the time, which meant "forsaken land."

The first white people to discover the area were English-origin farmers from Huntington. They started to venture into the Lindenhurst region while looking for salt hay, which grew in abundance throughout the marshlands. In 1657, a Huntington farmer named Jonas Wood signed a treaty alongside his neighbors with the Secatogue Indians that helped procure five necks of land. This included Venetian Shores, which was then called Santapogue Neck, and Little Neck, which is located in the western area of the Lindenhurst Canal. 

Even though the 1600s saw Huntington farmers coming to the region, no settlements had yet been established. Jesse Ketcham and his wife built the first home in the 1780s, which was located in the former Temperance Brush, which is now known as the location east of Washington Avenue on Montauk Highway. Some of the other earlier settlers to the region were the Smiths, Fleets, Strongs, Van Nostrands, and the Bartos. All of these families lived relatively quiet farming lives until the South Side Railroad went up around 1867.

Prior to the turn of the 20th century, there were many businesses and factories that flourished in Lindenhurst's village. The village growth made way for a fire department, which was when "Breslau Feuer Wehr" was formed in 1877. The name was later changed to Breslau Engine Company four years later. At the same time, Union Hook & Ladder was formed, followed by Library Hose Company in 1884. These three companies, which included manpower of 44 residents of the region, became the Breslau Fire Department in 1885.

Hurricane Sandy – A Notable Weather Event in the Lindenhurst Area

The eastern coast was ravaged by Hurricane Sandy, which touched down on October 30, 2012, in Lindenhurst and subsequently flooded a good portion of the streets throughout the village. Along the southern part of the Montauk Highway, water got reported up to six feet in height. Unfortunately, several fires also broke out in the area, which caused firefighters to address blazes while battling water levels that ranged from four to six feet. Additionally, people throughout the northern side of Lindenhurst went without power for more than a week. The water from the flooding due to the hurricane began to subside after about two days.
