Long Island streaches 118 miles into the Atlantic Ocean from New York Bay to Montauk Point. Dutch and English families began arriving on Long Island as early as 1640, settling on farms and in small fishing villages. During the early 1900's, the island's north shore was home to some of America's wealthiest families...among them, the Astors, Vanderbilts, Guggenheims and Duponts. Today, more than five million people call Long Island home.
