A BRIEF HISTORY OF SMITHTOWN
(Source: Smithtown... Yesterday and Today, John Motta, ed., Published for the Town of Smithtown by Pulsar Communications, 1988.) Smithtown is bordered on the north by Long Island Sound, the west by Huntington, the south by Islip and the east by Brookhaven, and lies in the western part of Suffolk County, approximately 50 miles east of New York City. The town's 55 square miles includes 30 miles of shoreline and 2,766 acres of parkland. The current population is approximately 113,000.

Smithtown is named after its founder, Richard Smythe. Mr. Smythe was an English subject who first settled in Southampton. After being banished from that town in 1656, possibly for religious reasons, he settled in Setauket for nine years. Then in 1663, it is believed, he purchased the land that became known as Smithtown from Lion Gardiner. Mr. Gardiner had been deeded the lands by Chief Wyandanch, Sachem of the Long Island Montauks, after Mr. Gardiner helped the chief get back his kidnapped daughter from a party of raiding Narragansett Indians. A Royal land patent was officially issued in 1665 to Richard Smythe.
