Brookhaven (T)
New York is a state in the northeastern United States. It is called New York State when there is need to distinguish it from New York City. Because a significant majority of the population is concentrated in the southern portion around New York City, the state is often regionalized into Upstate and Downstate. New York is the home of Ellis Island, where many immigrants in the early 20th century arrived in the United States.
The town of Brookhaven is located in central Suffolk County, New York, USA, and stretches from the North Shore to the South Shore of Long Island. The population of the town was 448,248 at the 2000 census. According to the United States Census Bureau, the town has a total area of 1,376.6 square kilometers. It is the largest town in New York in terms of total area. The first known inhabitants were Algonquian-speaking Native Americans, of the Setauket and Unkechaug tribes. Brookhaven includes all or part of 52 hamlets. One of those hamlets is also named Brookhaven.
Like some of its sister towns, Brookhaven is blessed with beautiful surroundings and a unique natural setting. The picturesque scenery, the majesty of nature, the slow pace of life, and the welcoming nature of its people all combine to make this region one of the most important tourist attractions in New York.
