| In this 1845 map of Long Island, the approximate area of Brookhaven Hamlet is shaded green. At the time, the area would have been known as Fire Place. Note that the convergence of roads at the northeast corner of the shaded area was called "Carmans." This locale is now known as South Haven (just outside what I would say was the Hamlet), and it was the location of Sam Carman's mills, the South Haven Parish Church, a post office, small hotel, a store, and several residences. Shallow drafted coastal vessels where able to navigate up the Carman's River nearly to this point. |
