BAY SHORE, NEW YORK EXTERMINATORS

Bay Shore is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the Town of Islip. Bay Shore is one of the older hamlets on Long Island. Sagtikos Manor, located in West Bay Shore, was built around 1697. It was used as a British armed forces headquarters at the time of the Battle of Long Island during the Revolutionary War. President Washington stayed at the manor during his tour of Long Island in 1790. The land that would become Bay Shore proper was purchased from the Secatogue Native Americans in 1708 by local schoolteacher John Mowbray for “several eel spears.” The hamlet’s name has changed over time. Early European settlers referred to the area first as Penataquit and later as Awixa. Both were names used by the indigenous Secatogue. For reasons never documented, the name was changed in the early 19th century to Sodom. In 1842 there was a further name change to Mechanicsville, then a return in 1849 to Penataquit. The name Penataquit proved unpopular because it was difficult to spell, and the name of the hamlet and post office was changed to Bay Shore in 1868. Much easier to spell!

Bay Shore clearly has a rich history, but it’s also a tourist destination. Stop by the The Himes Museum of Motor Racing Nostalgia, the biggest and most comprehensive guide to automobile museums in the world. It lists 1,663 museum and collections from 67 countries where cars, motorcycles, trucks, coaches/buses, fire engines, scale models, and automobilia are displayed. And you can see it all! After all that history, head to Great South Bay Brewery for a flight of beer. Don’t fill up, though because you will want to have dinner at The Lakehouse. We suggest the tomato bisque and the porcini-crusted sea bass. Every year, people flock to Bay Shore to enjoy everything it has to offer, but unfortunately, so do pests.
