===Economy=== [[Cash crop]]s such as corn and wheat were some of the earliest farmed within the Seaford area. Due to easy access to various waterfronts, the attempts to fish and recover [[oyster]]s were widely seen. At first, this was a hard task considering the layers of land beneath the water. In the mid-19th century, baymen from the Seaford area created a type of small, round-bottomed boat called the "Seaford [[skiff]]" that was used for fishing and market gunning (commercial waterfowl hunting).<ref name="newsday">{{Cite web|title=Newsday {{!}} Long Island's & NYC's News Source|url=https://www.newsday.com/|access-date=2022-01-10|website=Newsday|language=en}}</ref> With the popularity of hunting and fishing came the development of two hotels along Merrick Road: the Sportsman's Hotel, where Verity Moving is now located along new Route 135, and the Powell Hotel at Jackson Avenue. Many celebrities came to these hotels to go duck hunting in South Oyster Bay, including New York Yankees [[Babe Ruth]] and [[Lou Gehrig]], as well as brewery and longtime Yankees owner [[Jacob Ruppert]]. Local guides, including Nelson Verity and Sheriff Garner Paine (one of Long Island's first black officials), would take them to the bay for sport.{{citation needed|date=May 2024}}
