  • Changing Long Island (Online Exhibit)
    Changing Long Island There have been many factors that have changed the look and feel of Long Island over the course of time. The water that surrounds us has changed the physical landscape through erosion and severe weather events like hurricanes that created inlets. There are also changes that came about through modernization; the change from an agricultural society to a suburban culture, for instance. In addition, man-made structures and inventions have changed the look and feel of our island. Inventions like automobiles, the railroad, and the airplane have all impacted the landscape. Long Island, surrounded by water, had originally been inhabited by indigenous people and then New Englanders came by boat and settled in Suffolk County first. Long Island‘s flat landscape created a good venue for windmills and wind energy which allowed early settlers to grind corn and other grains. Where rivers and streams were located, watermills were also used. The first windmill on Long Island was built in Southold. See Appendix A to learn more about the Town of Southold. Montauk Point with windmill in an early photograph. See Appendix B to learn more about windmills. Watermills were common on Long Island, this one located in Oyster Bay. See Appendix C to learn more about watermills. Along the south shore of Long Island, in the towns of Islip and Brookhaven, boats were built to harvest bushels of shellfish. Other settlers found drift whales on the shores and soon realized that hunting whales could be profitable. The Hempstead Plains, located in the middle of Long Island was a large grassy common land that early Long Islanders used for grazing cattle and other livestock.
