History
Patchogue has historically been a major shopping and commerce hub of Suffolk County. “Patchogue” in the narrow sense is an incorporated village with narrow limits, only about a mile and a half wide. East Patchogue includes the eastern portion of Patchogue in the wider sense, as well as the area east of that but still west of the incorporated village of Bellport. This double meaning of “East Patchogue” is reflected in the naming of New York State Route 27A: It is called “East Main Street” in the western portion of East Patchogue, and “Montauk Highway” (as it typically is outside of villages) in the eastern portion. The Patchogue side of East Patchogue is in the Patchogue-Medford School District, while the Bellport side is in the South Country Central School District, and its high-school students attend Bellport High School.
The area around County Road 80 in the western portion of East Patchogue was once commonly regarded as the hamlet of Hagerman. In New York, a hamlet has no official boundaries or government and refers only to a named, settled area. With suburban growth, Hagerman is no longer distinct from its surroundings, and the name has fallen into disuse, especially since the removal of the Hagerman station on the Long Island Rail Road. There still exists the Hagerman fire district.
Prior to its closure, the East Patchogue post office was located at 1415 Montauk Highway.
