Living in Central Islip, NY
Like many other communities on Long Island, the areas around Central Islip are closely tied to the crossing of English colonists to New York (what was then called New Amsterdam) as early as 1640. Suffolk County mostly consisted of farms and harbors for sailing and commerce. During the 1930s, the area was a major site for large suppliers to the U.S. defense and aerospace industries. From the end of World War II to today, the areas around Central Islip has grown into a growing piece of suburbia for New Yorkers. Farms turned into residential homes and tall buildings like the rest of the skyline as the area has grown into the urban gem that it is today.
