Help - Moving from MA to LI

Off the top, you should be aware that the majority of places with an "Amityville, NY 11701" mailing address are NOT in the Village of Amityville.


For those who may not be familiar with Amityville:

Amityville is a village (incorporated in 1894) in the southwest part of the Town of Babylon, in the southwest part of Suffolk County (along the Babylon/Oyster Bay town line and the Suffolk/Nassau County line).

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Village of Amityville in the Town of Babylon is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of North Amityville; on the east by the Hamlet of Copiague; on the south by the Great South Bay; and, on the west by the Hamlet of East Massapequa in the town of Oyster Bay, Nassau County (the Babylon/Oyster Bay town line and the Suffolk/Nassau County line).





Amityville is one of those many villages and hamlets on Long Island where the majority of places with the community name as part of their mailing address are not in the village: places that have an "Amityville, NY 11701" mailing address that are not in the Village of Amityville are in the Hamlet of Copiague and the Hamlet of North Amityville in the Town of Babylon and in the Hamlet of East Massapequa in the Town of Oyster Bay, Nassau County.

For those who may not be familiar with East Norwich:

East Norwich is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) in the north part of the Town of Oyster Bay, in the northeast part of Nassau County.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of East Norwich in the Town of Oyster Bay is bordered on the north by the Village of Upper Brockville, the Hamlet of Oyster Bay and the Village of Oyster Bay Cove; on the east by the Village of Oyster Bay Cove; on the south by the Hamlet of Syosset and the Village of Muttontown; and, on the west by the Village of Muttontown and the Village of Upper Brookville.





East Norwich is one of those many villages and hamlets on Long Island where many of the places with the community name as part of their mailing address are not in the hamlet: places that have an "East Norwich, NY 11732" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of East Norwich are in the Village of Upper Brookville, the Hamlet of Oyster Bay and the Village of Muttontown; and, at the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of East Norwich that have an "Oyster Bay, NY 11771" mailing address. (Additionally, the "East Norwich, NY 11732" postal zone is a "bifurcated" postal zone: it consists of two (2) non-connected areas, with the two (2) areas separated by the "Oyster Bay, NY 11771" postal zone.)
