Fact text

  • Sayville got its name because a spelling-challenged town clerk looked up 'sea' in his old Bible and found it spelled 'S-A-Y', and the accidental name stuck forever.
  • When residents protested the misspelling to Washington D.C., the Postmaster General basically said 'keep it' because there were plenty of Seevilles but zero Sayvilles in the world.
  • In 1994, California State University at Fresno declared Sayville the 'friendliest town in America', a title earned by an entire hamlet of Long Islanders, which is impressive.
  • A grand estate called Meadow Croft, built by a cousin of Theodore Roosevelt, still stands in Sayville today as part of a county nature preserve.
