'''East Islip''' is a [[Hamlet (New York)|hamlet]] and [[census-designated place|CDP]] in the Town of [[Islip, New York|Islip]], [[Suffolk County, New York]], United States. The population was 13,931 at the time of the 2020 census.<ref name="Census 2010">{{Cite web| url=http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US3622315| archive-url=https://archive.today/20200212190234/http://factfinder.census.gov/bkmk/table/1.0/en/DEC/10_DP/G001/1600000US3622315| url-status=dead| archive-date=2020-02-12| title=Geographic Identifiers: 2010 Demographic Profile Data (G001): East Islip CDP, New York| publisher=U.S. Census Bureau, American Factfinder| access-date=2012-12-27}}</ref>

==History==
Originally referred to as "East of Islip", the name was acquired in 1890 from the estate of William Nicoll, an [[English people|English]] [[Aristocracy (class)|aristocrat]] who purchased the surrounding land in 1683 to erect a family residence. Nicoll's purchase comprised {{convert|51,000|acre|km2}} from the Secatogue Indians, reaching as far as [[Bayport, New York|Bayport]] to the east, [[Babylon (village), New York|Babylon]] to the west and [[Ronkonkoma, New York|Ronkonkoma]] to the north. His mansion, Islip Grange, named after his family's ancestral estate at [[Northamptonshire|Northampshire, England]], stood near the shoreline of what is now [[Heckscher State Park]].

East Islip, as well as many hamlets along Long Island's south shore, was once an enclave for some of the nation's wealthiest families. Its estates at one time included the Hollins, Gulden, and Knapp estates, among others. An original estate mansion, Brookwood Hall, has passed from its last private owners, the Thorne family (originally of [[Great Neck, New York|Great Neck]] during the Dutch colonial era) and now serves as a municipal building for the Town of Islip. The Sullivan estate became the home of the Hewlett School, a private [[boarding school]] which closed shortly after the turn of the century. Some estate and early farmlands were donated to the [[Roman Catholic church]] and make up the current grounds of St Mary's of East Islip, which includes a private elementary and middle school, in addition to church and other parish buildings. The original Westbrook farm on the boundary between East Islip and [[Oakdale, New York|Oakdale]], near the Bayard Cutting Arboretum, has ceased operations, and its fields are now the home of East Islip Soccer, near the fields set aside for the Little League of the Islips.

Today, modern East Islip is composed of much smaller, yet affluent communities and few [[Estate (land)|estates]]. Many of these newer communities were built on the land that was once part of former estates that were sold off, most notably the estate of Percy G. Williams. [[The Moorings, New York|The Moorings]], an opulent waterfront [[gated community|guard-gated private community]], is one of the hamlet's premier neighborhoods. Other neighborhoods within the hamlet include Deer Run and Country Village as well as the Beecher Estates.

==Geography==
According to the [[United States Census Bureau]], the CDP has a total area of {{convert|10.5|km2|disp=flip}}, of which {{convert|10.2|km2|disp=flip}} is land and {{convert|0.3|km2|disp=flip}}, or 2.68%, is water.<ref name="Census 2010"/>

East Islip borders four other hamlets: [[Islip (CDP), New York|Islip]] is to the west, [[Islip Terrace, New York|Islip Terrace]] is to the north, [[North Great River, New York|North Great River]] is to the northeast, and [[Great River, New York|Great River]] is to the east.
