Population: 1,449 Located in Suffolk County
Baiting Hollow is located within the town of Riverhead in Suffolk county. The Town of Riverhead is in Suffolk County, New York on the north shore of Long Island. The population was 27,680 at the 2000 census. The name signifies that the mouth of the Peconic River is in this town.
With everything from museums, historical sites and lighthouses, to sophisticated malls, designer outlets and shopping villages, to wineries and farm stands, to family fun parks, aquariums and zoos, there's far more than plenty to do on Long Island!
Riverhead was originally a part of Southold Town until March, 1792. One of the reasons for the separation was the inconvenience in attending Town meetings. Southold at that time included Shelter Island and all the land of the north shore of Long Island from Oysterponds (Orient Point) to Wading River.
The Town of Riverhead was formed from a large portion of what was known as the "Aquebogue Division" of Southold. From 1661 to 1792, all the land between Mattituck and Wading River (which would now include Laurel, Jamesport, Northville, Aquebogue, Roanoke, Riverhead, Calverton, and Baiting Hollow) was described as "Aquebogue".
At the time of separation, the two largest villages in the Town were at Wading River and Lower or Old Aquebogue, which is now Jamesport. As government grew in Riverhead, the Town became responsible for many aspects of life within its borders. The Water District was established in 1914; zoning discussions began at a Town Board meeting in September, 1928, although zoning didn't become a reality until June, 1959; seven acres on Youngs Avenue was purchased for a Town Dump in 1929 for $800.
The Town began to provide recreation also. In 1923, it accepted a gift from Cora Reeves Barnes for 14 acres on Long Island Sound - this gift is known as Reeve's Park. Growth of the town population created a need for more ordinances and local laws covering such matters as marinas, housing, junkyards, jail terms, burning and building construction, carnivals, developments, advertising, agriculture districts, taverns, site plans and swimming pools.
