Mastic

Beginnings: The Algonquians roamed its shores for thousands of years. But it took the English barely two generations after landing on Long Island in 1640 to make Mastic their own. By the early 1700s, the Floyds, the Nicolls, the Woodhulls and the Smiths had carved huge estates out of the ragged-edged peninsula jutting into Moriches Bay. One of the principal landowners, Col. William (Tangier) Smith, died in 1705 and left his property to his descendants. Four years later they began construction of a manor house at Mastic that still stands.
