History and Facts
- Original settlers Zebulon Ketcham, Nehemiah Heartte and Abraham Wanzer, were first attracted to Copiague and the surrounding areas by it's proximity to the Great South Bay, and easy access to the Atlantic Ocean, As well as for its natural harbors. Like many early towns on Long Island, much of the land was used for farming and they built mills for processing grain.
- George Washington once dined at Zebulon Ketcham's Inn during his 1790 tour of Long Island. The inn was located where Deauville Boulevard meets Montauk Highway. A plaque sits there now comemorating the event.
- The hamlet was known by several names throughout its history; Huntington South, East Amityville, and Great Neck, until 1895 when it was officially named Copiague.
- The name "Copiague" comes from the Merrick Indian word meaning "sheltered harbor."
- In 1900 the first railroad was run through Copiague and it's neighboring areas, followed by a Post Office in 1903.
- In 1906, John Campagnoli, of whom there is a street in town named after him, purchased a large area of land north of where the railroad tracks presently lie. Campagnoli, a good friend of Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi, dubbed his partition "Marconiville" and built a hotel in his name as well. However Marconi never became a permanent resident of the area, and the hotel burned to the ground in 1925, of which the original gate still remains on Great Neck Road.
