History of Long Island, New York

[@jeffhands7097]

Excellent video, and your comment at the end about property taxes showed that you really did your homework!

[@olgathehandmaid]

Good video, thank you. A quick note about the stock footage used... 2:40 shows an Anglican or Catholic priest, completely opposite visual from the Puritan aesthetic and theology which banned both vestments and religious imagery.

[@ErikMello96]

Solid video! Covers a good amount of the essentials for our island. Cheers

[@NewYorkNevada]

Don't forget the Battle of Long Island during the Revolutionary War.

[@tractororganics]

such a great video i really appreciate this being from the island

[@graciemiller9596]

Great video. Left in 75 but miss it. Thanks

[@robsav4619]

Nice video but the clips you have of Levittown is not Levittown. The houses in Levittown are Cape cod style house with no basements. Also Levittown does not have palm trees. :)

[@davidkastin4240]

There were 4 different styles of homes built in Levittown. None had basements. Cape, Ranch, A Frame and the 4th I can't remember the style name. The kitchen is in the back of the house. The layout is reversed in the 4th style.

You forgot the large amount of small airfields across the Island. Or the first long roadway of Vanderbilt Highway or the Fresh Water need for Shipping Industry.

[@longislandpaularata1869]

Col Talmadge went from Mt. Sinai to what is now east moriches and surrounded some British troops and disarmed them without firing a shot.

[@johnnyintrieri]

It was Fort St. George which is now Shirley, N.Y.

[@victoralvarez8872]

Great video

[@MakeupMobster]

Property taxes are absolutely ridiculous here. Great video tho.

[@allencollins6031]

Yep, own your home and then rent it back from NYS.

[@meyou-dv8ns]

don't forget the big fight between the Glen Cove high school kids vs The Locust Valley high school kids in 1977- wow what a fight it was

[@andrewlayton9760]

@9:09 - definitely NOT Mitchell Field.

[@hiesenbergwalt181]

Nice

[@johnnyintrieri]

Pretty informative. You forgot Camp Upton on William Floyd Parkway as a training center for our Armed Forces. The Levittown segment where l lived twice, you didn't show 1 Levittown House. Not enough on the South Shore.

[@brianreip411]

Who's pocket are all our property tax going in

[@lionsden5123]

Who do you think lol

[@TheOneArmedViolinist]

The companies i keep reading about that are extending their tex free existences while my rate increases annually

[@Notypls101]

Excelent video and your right about the younge people leaving I mean a room here could be 1500-2000 but I want this place to be better and not just wtv it is now

[@trailridescj7528]

Computer generated maps do not match the narration.

[@8THAPOSTLE]

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🗽

[@musicissomuchfunpiano3327]

I left long Island for New Mexico because I could not get a job that paied enough to afford the rent lol

[@albieh2563]

You do not enunciate.

[@alanohms]

First off brooklyn and queens didnt become part of nyc untill 1898 so in all reality thats only the last 120 or so years and geographically they have ALWAYS been part of Long Island. So when doing Long Island history you include all of Long Island

[@andrewlayton9760]

Yes, when Queens joined NYC, Nassau County was created as a separate county.

[@kevenclinton4970]

The effects can still be seen today. That is a good thing because we have seen the results of intergration.
