History

The name “Ronkonkoma” comes from the nearby Lake Ronkonkoma, which in turn comes from an Algonquian expression meaning “boundary fishing-lake”, also earlier written as “Raconkumake” and “Raconkamuck.”

Since 1988, Ronkonkoma has been the end of electrification along the Long Island Rail Road’s Main Line. The track between Hicksville and Ronkonkoma is known as the Ronkonkoma Branch. In 2017, Governor Andrew Cuomo announced the groundbreaking of a new $650 million development to create a Ronkonkoma Hub near the LIRR Line, similar to the hub in neighboring Brookhaven.

Ronkonkoma was the terminus of the first road in the United States designed exclusively for automobiles, the Vanderbilt Motor Parkway, constructed by a consortium of investors called the Long Island Motor Parkway, Inc. led by William Kissam Vanderbilt II.
