Bethel-Christian Avenue-Laurel Hill Historical District
Bethel-Christian Avenue-Laurel Hill Historical District, Historical district in Setauket-East Setauket, United States.
The 7.5-acre district encompasses the Bethel AME Church, Laurel Hill Cemetery, and several residential structures from different historical periods.
The area dates back to the 1600s when African-American slaves and Native Americans from the Setalcott tribe established their first settlements in this location.
The neighborhood represents a continuous legacy of African-American and Native American communities, with the Bethel AME Church serving as a central gathering point since 1848.
The district maintains original architectural elements and structures that demonstrate the development of minority communities in Long Island through multiple centuries.
The Hawkins Homestead within the district stands as a testament to African-American land ownership during a period when such properties were rare in New York.
