Shirley, Unincorporated community in Suffolk County, New York
Shirley extends along the South Shore of Long Island with residential neighborhoods containing single-family homes and local service establishments.
Developer Walter T. Shirley transformed this area in the 1950s by offering four-room homes starting at $4,700 and residential lots for $295.
The community changed its identity from Tangiers to Shirley, marking a shift from vacation homes to permanent residential development.
The Mastic-Shirley Long Island Rail Road station connects residents to New York City through regular train service throughout the day.
Shirley functions as the western terminus point for Atlantic Crossing 1, a submarine telecommunications cable connecting the United States with European nations.
