HistorikSuffolk County was part of the Connecticut Colony before becoming an original county of the Province of New York, one of twelve created in 1683. From 1664 until 1683 it had been the East Riding of Yorkshire. Its boundaries were essentially the same as at present, with only minor changes in the boundary with its western neighbor, which was originally Queens County but has been Nassau County since the separation of Nassau from Queens in 1899. ÖvrigtThe county was named after the county of Suffolk in England, from where its earliest European settlers came. Countyt tillhör östra delen av New Yorks storstadsregion och är bland annat känt för badorterna The Hamptons med sina exklusiva sommarhus. |
