I'm pretty sure he's confusing the "North Fork" with the "North Phork," An ancient Indian trail that the Algonquins used to transport raccoon skins between Huntington and Commack, as the LIE did not permit hunting carts at the time.

A more interesting question is where do "the Hamptons" start? Some people would say not till you get over the Shinnecock Canal despite the fact there are two towns with the name "Hampton" west of that point.

East Moriches is dubbed the 'gateway' to the Hamptons. Works for me.

If we were to be technical and base the split of the forks on the Peconic Estuary, then the waters east of BNL would be the beginning of the division between north and south fork, which would make Mastic Beach part of the south fork and Wading River part of the north fork.
