Earlier today, a thread about the Village of Tuckahoe was moved to the Westchester County forum, but there is also a Tuckahoe in Suffolk County ...
Not be confused with the Village of Tuckahoe in the Town of Eastchester in Westchester County is the Hamlet of Tuckahoe in the Town of Southampton in Suffolk County.
Concomitant with the April 2000 Federal Census, the Hamlet of North Southampton (Southampton unincorporated) in the Town of Southampton was renamed Tuckahoe and, in addition, land from the Hamlet of Shinnecock Hills was transferred to the newly named Hamlet of Tuckahoe.
Adding to the geographic confusion, Tuckahoe is one of those many villages and hamlets on Long Island where none of the places in the community have the hamlet name in their mailing address.
For those who may not be familiar with Tuckahoe:
Tuckahoe is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the central part of the Town of Southampton, in the east end of Suffolk County.
Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Tuckahoe in the Town of Southampton is bordered on the north by the Great Peconic Bay; on the east by the Hamlet of North Sea; on the south by the Village of Southampton and the Shinnecock Indian reservation; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Shinnecock Hills and the Hamlet of Hampton Bays.
Tuckahoe is one of those many villages and hamlets on Long Island where none of the places in the community have the hamlet name in their mailing address: places in the Hamlet of Tuckahoe have a "Southampton, NY 11968 and 11969" mailing address).
