Pauquaconsuk, the Place Where We Wade for Clams
Wading River lies on the North Shore of Long Island, and the 2020 census counted 7,731 residents. Most of the hamlet is in the Town of Riverhead, with a small portion in the Town of Brookhaven. It was earlier known as Lonsefekwa, and the first English colonists adopted Wading River as the name. That name grows out of the Algonquian word Pauquaconsuk, meaning the place where people wade for thick, round-shelled clams.
The earliest English records show a settlement founded by eight colonial families. The Long Island Rail Road's Port Jefferson Branch reached Wading River between 1895 and 1938, and planners once wanted the line to continue east and meet the Main Line again near Riverhead or Calverton. The LIRR also ran a demonstration farm here from 1905 to 1928. The station shut in 1938. During World War II the FBI used the Benson House for a secret counterintelligence operation that fed deceptive information to the Nazis.
Fewer than 500 people lived here year-round. Summer brought hundreds of visitors to Wildwood State Park, the cottages on cliffs and dunes, and the beaches. Walter Lippmann wrote Public Opinion in the summer of 1921 and The Phantom Public in the summer of 1923 while staying in Wading River.
The Year 1947 and the Camp Upton Connection
The year 1947 changed the hamlet. Returning World War II servicemen began building homes, the Wading River Fire Department was formed, and the Wading River Historical Society was founded. Camp Upton was converted into Brookhaven National Laboratory the same year, and Upton, our neighbor, sits about 6.5 miles away. The hamlet covers 9.8 square miles.
