Manorville, census-designated place in Suffolk County, New York
Manorville is a census-designated community in Suffolk County on Long Island, New York, covering a large undeveloped area. It consists mainly of woodlands, glacially-formed ponds, and residential neighborhoods with single-family homes scattered among the trees.
The area grew from a large estate called Manor St. George founded in the 1600s. In the 1800s a railroad station was built nearby, and the settlement was officially renamed Manorville in 1907 after the original St. George's Manor sign was shortened to drop the English-sounding reference.
Manorville takes its name from an old estate called Manor St. George established in the 1600s. The community preserves this rural identity through its forests, ponds, and open spaces that shape daily life and how people experience the landscape.
Manorville is accessible via Exit 69 off the Long Island Expressway, making it easy to reach by car. Most visitors arrive by vehicle since public transportation is limited, and larger shopping and services can be found in nearby towns.
The original name was Punk's Hole, named after a small natural depression near Hot Water Road that local legend says served as a hiding place for a captain during the American Revolution. This depression still exists today and shows the area's natural geology.
