Babylon

Babylon is an administrative division along Long Island's southern shore, containing residential neighborhoods, municipal buildings, and commercial areas throughout its territory. The community spreads along waterfront areas, connecting different residential sections with central districts.

Babylon was established as an independent village in 1893, growing from a small waterfront settlement into a structured community with defined municipal limits. This development reflects how the area transformed from a trading port into a modern residential community.

The Argyle Theater stages performances year-round, shaping the local arts life with musicals, plays, and community events that draw residents together. This venue represents where people gather to experience live entertainment as part of their social life.

Village Hall at 153 West Main Street handles permits and resident inquiries during regular hours, making it a good place to get oriented to local services. Stop by if you need information about regulations or community resources.

The E. Donald Conroy Golf Course follows the natural curves of Sumpwams Creek with a 9-hole, par-3 layout right along the water. Being situated this close to the creek makes it a notable feature most visitors to the area overlook.
