Description

Suffolk County was an original county of the Province of New York, one of twelve created in 1683. From 1664 until 1683 it had been the East Riding of Yorkshire. Its boundaries were essentially the same as at present, with only minor changes in the boundary with its western neighbor, which was originally Queens County but has been Nassau County since the separation of Nassau from Queens in 1899. This historical narrative provides a thorough account of the history of the county, as well as the development of places like East Hampton, Shelter Island, Southold, Southampton, Riverhead and many more.
