History
Patchogue, which is approximately 60 miles (100 km) east of Manhattan, became incorporated in 1893.
In 1812, there were 75 inhabitants in Patchogue according to The Brooklyn Eagle, published in 1930.
The Patchogue Former Manufactured Gas Plant (MGP) was operated from 1904 to 1926. The company was a small operation, converting coal and/or petroleum products to a flammable gas for use in lighting and industry. The company was sold to Long Island Lighting Company (LILCO).
The Patchogue Theatre opened in 1923. It was later renovated into a triplex, after which it was converted to a single movie theater. It closed in the late 1980s. In the mid-1990s the village acquired the theater, and completely refurbished the building; it now seats 1,166 people.
Three churches in Patchogue are listed on the National Register of Historic Places: the Congregational Church on East Main Street, United Methodist Church on South Ocean Avenue between Church Street and Terry Street, and St. Paul’s Episcopal Church on Rider Avenue across from Terry Street.
In 2019, the local downtown area was recognized by the American Planning Association as one of America’s four “Great Neighborhoods”. Since 2007, the association has recognized over 300 neighborhoods, streets, and public spaces that make communities stronger and bring people together through good planning.
