Title
Commuters at the Port Jefferson Train Station
What occurred
In the late 1800s the rail road would expand to eastern long island and connect locations like the Three Village area to New York City. This facilitated increased industrialization and then later increased suburbanization of the area. It also required the flattening of land, especially close to the hilly North Shore.
Location
Three Village area: Port Jefferson, NY
