==History== [[File:New Suffolk, New York (1901).jpg|thumb|left|New Suffolk, 1901]] The submarine [[USS Holland (SS-1)|USS ''Holland'' (SS-1)]], the first commissioned submarine in the U.S. Navy, along with five other [[Holland Torpedo Boat Company]]-designed submarines of the [[Plunger-class submarine|''Plunger'' class]], were based in New Suffolk's [[Holland Torpedo Boat Station]] between 1899 and 1905, prompting the hamlet to claim to be the "First Submarine Base" in the United States. The location of the "submarine base" was on 1st Street between Main and King Streets.<ref>USS Holland first did her sea trials in Great Peconic Bay due to its sheltered waters and access to ways at North Forth Shipyard New Suffolk.{{cite news | last = Wacker | first = Tim | title = New Suffolk Fights to Save Tiny School | work = New York Times | date = 2003-01-19 | url = https://www.nytimes.com/2003/01/19/nyregion/new-suffolk-fights-to-save-tiny-school.html | access-date = 2009-09-04}}</ref> The name of Mr. Holland's company was changed to [[Electric Boat]] during this time.<ref>{{usurped|1=[https://web.archive.org/web/20060429124418/http://www.cutchoguenewsuffolk.org/history.htm cutchoguenewsuffolk.org history - Retrieved 2007-11-04]}}</ref> In 2007, New Suffolk's two-room school house had nine students in grades K-6, making it one of the smallest school districts in the state of New York. The physical location of the school closed down following the 2023-2024 school year, due to a lack of students. The district plans to send students to neighboring Southold school district.
