== History ==
The area of marsh along the coast was occupied by a band of [[Lenape]], known as the Matinecock – a name associated with the place.<ref name=":81">{{Cite book |last=Winsche |first=Richard |title=The History of Nassau County Community Place-Names |date=October 1, 1999 |publisher=Empire State Books |isbn=978-1557871541 |location=[[Interlaken, New York]] |pages=}}</ref>

The Matinecock sold the area in 1660 to Richard Latting and his son, Josiah Latting.
