For those who may not be familiar with Fishers Island:
Fishers Island is an island hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the extreme northeast section of the Town of Southold, in the extreme northeast part of Suffolk County, and is closer to Connecticut than to the rest of Long Island.
Fishers Island is located in Long Island Sound and is to the northeast of Plum Island and the Hamlet of Orient, also in the Town of Southold, and is just 5 miles offshore from New London, CT.
Fishers Island is unique in many ways, one of which is that while it certainly is part of New York State, it has a Connecticut ZIP Code. If you or I want to write to a person or company located on Fishers Island, the last line of the mailing address -- it's "postal city, postal state" -- is Fishers Island, CT 06390.
Mail to and from Fishers Island is handled within a facility in the New London, CT Post Office. As of a few years ago, the manager of the New London-Fishers Island ferry lives in New London and on his way to work on Fishers Island picks up the mail bag with the incoming mail at the New London Post Office and in the evening, when he returns to New London, drops off a bag of outgoing mail.
For a good set of town-by-town maps showing all the villages and hamlets in each of LI's 13 towns (3 in Nassau County and 10 in Suffolk County):
