The geography of Halesite can be confusing because Halesite 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 Halesite:
Halesite is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the northern part of the Town of Huntington, in the northwest part of Suffolk County.
Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Halesite in the Town of Huntington is bordered on the north by the Village of Huntington Bay; on the east and south by the Hamlet of Huntington; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Huntington and Huntington Bay.
Halesite 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 Halesite have a "Huntington, NY 11743" mailing address.
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):
