Locust Valley

Beginnings: Oyster Bay Town's hamlet of Locust Valley originally was part of a larger region called Matinecock, settled in 1667, that covered what is now northern Nassau County. The mostly English farmers in 1730 changed the local name to Buckram, probably after Buckenham, a town in Norfolk County, England, from which some of the pioneers had come. At a public meeting In 1856, the name became Locust Valley because of the many locust trees in the area.
