For those who may not be familiar with Holtsville:

Holtsville is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) partly in the northeast part of the Town of Islip and partly in the southwest part of the Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County.

Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Holtsville in the Towns of Islip and Brookhaven is bordered on the north by Hamlet of Centereach and the Hamlet of Farmingville in the Town of Brookhaven; on the east by the Hamlet of Farmingville and the Hamlet of Medford in the Town of Brookhaven; on the south by the Hamlet if North Patchogue in the Town of Brookhaven and the Hamlet of Holbrook in the Town of Islip; and, on the west by the Hamlet of Holbrook in the Towns of Islip and Brookhaven.





The Hamlet of Holtsville has a different border than does the "Holtsville, NY 11742" ZIP Code postal zone (i.e., a place can have a "Holtsville, NY 11742" mailing address and not be in the Hamlet of Holtsville and a place can have other than a "Holtsville, NY 11742" mailing address and be in the Hamlet of Holtsville): places that have a "Holtsville, NY 11742" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Holtsville are in the Hamlet of North Patchogue and the Hamlet of Medford; and, at the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of Holtsville that have a "Farmingville, NY 11738" and "Holbrook, NY 11741" mailing address.
