Huntington, New York 11743
(excerpt from Wikipedia)
Fort Salonga is a hamlet (and census-designated place) in Suffolk
County, New York on the North Shore of Long Island. As of the United
States 2000 Census, the CDP population was 9,634.
The name evolved from the Revolutionary War British "Fort Slongo"
(named after one of the fort's architects) once located near the border of
Huntington Township and The Town of Smithtown, overlooking the Long
Island Sound.
One night Colonial forces landed on the beach in nearby Crab Meadow,
and moving down the beach overtook the fort. In the post Civil War era the
rich red clay deposits gave birth to a successful brickworks as well as
other trade. Barges loaded with manure swept from the streets of New
York City would arrive and farmers from nearby towns would come to get
the manure for fertilizer and the emptied barges were then loaded with
bricks for the trip back to the city. One of the brick companies to operate
there in the late 19th Century was owned by the Brown family whose
bricks bore the initials BBB for Brown's Best Bricks. The family home on
the top of the hill on Breeze Hill Road has served as the clubhouse for the
Indian Hills Country Club since 1963.
