History and culture

History

The village now known as Freeport was part of an area called "the Great South Woods" during colonial times. In the mid-1600s, the area was renamed Raynor South, and ultimately Raynortown, after a herdsman named Edward Raynor, who had moved to the area from Hempstead in 1659, cleared land and built a cabin.^[1] Hempstead is the name of some places in the State of New York, in the United States of America: Hempstead (village), New York Hempstead (town), New York This is a disambiguation page — a navigational aid which lists other pages that might otherwise share the same title. ...

In 1853, residents voted to rename the village Freeport, adopting a variant of a nickname used by ship captains during colonial times because they were not charged customs duties to land their cargo.^[1] The village was incorporated in 1892.^[1] Oystering became a thriving industry after the Civil War, although it declined at the beginning of the 20th Century because of changing salinity in the bay and because of pollution.

In the early years Freeport was a tourist and sportsman's destination for its boating and fishing, but after World War II the village became a bedroom community for New York City. The separation between the two eras was marked by the fire that destroyed the Freeport Hotel in the late 1950s. During the 1950's local merchants resisted building any malls in the village and subsequently suffered a great loss of business when large malls were built in communities in the central part of Long Island.

Freeport saw its share of the social, political, and racial turbulence of the late 1960s and early 1970s. The 1969–70 school year saw three high school principals in the village's only high school, after which William McElroy, formerly the junior high school principal, came to the position of high school principal in August 1970 "in the midst of racial tension and a constantly-polarizing student body"; McElroy backed such initiatives as a student advisory committee to the Board of Education and, in his own words, "made [him]self available to any civic-minded group" that wished to discuss with him the situation in the school. By May 1972, he could claim success, of a sort. "Formerly, a fight between a black and a white student would automatically become racial; now a fight is just a fight—between two students."^[2]

Description

Freeport is located on the south shore of Long Island. The south part of the village is penetrated by several canals that allow access to the Atlantic Ocean by means of passage through salt marshes; the oldest of these canals is the late 19th century Woodcleft Canal.^[1] Freeport has extensive small boat facilities and a resident fishing fleet, as well as charter and open fishing boats.

Culture

Freeport is a Long Island hot spot during the summer season in New York. A popular festival occurs on Freeport's Nautical Mile (the west side of Woodcleft Canal) each June, which attracts many people from across Long Island, and New York City. The Nautical Mile is a strip along the water that features their well-known seafood restaurants, crab shacks, bars, eclectic little boutiques, fresh fish markets, as well as party cruise ships, and casino boats that float atop the canals. People line up for the boat rides, and clamor to the many restaurants which provide diners with seating on the water's edge & eat mussels, oysters, crabs, and steamed clams (known locally simply as "steamers") accompanied by pitchers of beer. A very popular 18-hole miniature golf course offers fun for the whole family. Additionally, a new waterfront park, which will include a transient marina, boardwalk, and benches is nearing completion at the foot of the Nautical Mile. This is in addition to an existing scenic pier. New York, New York and NYC redirect here. ...

Upstream, just north of the high school and the railroad tracks, is the ruin of the former Brooklyn Water Works, described by Christopher Gray of the New York Times as looking like an "ancient, war-damaged abbey". Designed by architect Frank Freeman and opened in 1891 to serve what was then the nearby City of Brooklyn (later part of New York City), it was fully active until 1929 with a capacity of 54 million gallons a day, and remained in standby for emergency use until 1977, when the pumps and other machinery were removed.
