The patchwork of beach towns, villages and hamlets that make up Islip Town represents some of the most historic communities on the whole of Long Island. Local Secatogue Native Americans harrowingly saved the Dutch survivors of one of New York' s first shipwrecks in 1657. New York City' s infamous Tammany Hall leased an entire summer resort island in Islip Town for decades. In 1912, a young woman from Sayville sacrificed her own life for another on the RMS Titanic. Islip Town' s founding father, William Nicoll, owned the largest parcel on Long Island' s South Shore but was blocked from owning even a grain of sand on Fire Island. A penniless Dutch immigrant to Islip Town became the world' s Oyster King. Join author and historian Jack Whitehouse as he reveals buried stories from Islip Town' s past.
