Stony Brook, University hamlet on Long Island's North Shore, United States
Stony Brook extends along the coastline of Long Island Sound, featuring a mixture of residential neighborhoods, educational institutions, and commercial districts within Suffolk County.
The settlement originated in the late 17th century as Wopowog, developing from an agricultural area into a resort destination after the Long Island Rail Road arrival in 1870.
The Long Island Museum displays extensive collections of horse-drawn carriages and American art, while the Grist Mill represents early industrial heritage.
The Long Island Rail Road station connects residents to Manhattan with regular service, while Nicolls Road provides direct access to the university campus.
Ward Melville transformed the hamlet during the 1930s by creating a colonial-style village center with white clapboard buildings arranged around a central green.
