Center Moriches has a fascinating and deep-rooted history, blending Native American heritage, early European settlement, and the agricultural boom of the 20th century. Its transformation from a quiet farming community to a more suburban and residential area reflects the broader trends in Long Island's development over time. Early Days and Settlement The name "Moriches" itself offers a glimpse into the area’s Native American past. The story of Meritces, the Native American figure from whom the name is believed to be derived, is a key thread in the community’s origins. When Dutch and English settlers arrived in the 1600s, the land was already home to the indigenous people, and they began to establish farms along the fertile soil of Long Island. The Terry-Ketcham Inn, still standing today, is an iconic piece of the settlement's history and a reminder of the area's early European roots. Being listed on the National Register of Historic Places is an honor that underscores its importance in telling the story of early American life. Farming and Industry Farming became the cornerstone of Center Moriches' economy for centuries. The region’s rich, arable land made it a prime location for agriculture, and local farms grew crops and raised livestock. The Jurgielewicz Duck Farm, established in 1919, became a major part of this agricultural legacy, evolving into one of the largest free-range duck farms in the U.S. for a time. While the farm closed in 2011, its influence on local commerce and the community cannot be overstated—it was a significant employer and helped to put Center Moriches on the map. Development and Modern Times The shift from farming to residential and commercial development in the latter half of the 20th century marked a major transition for Center Moriches. Subdivisions grew, and the community began to draw in more residents, both those looking to live in a peaceful rural environment and those seeking the convenience of suburban life close to New York City. Despite this development, many of the area's historical landmarks have been preserved, helping to maintain the sense of history and connection to the past. The Masury Estate Ballroom, a remnant of a once-larger estate, stands as a testament to the grandeur that once characterized the area. The ballroom still brings people together for events and performances, preserving the legacy of Center Moriches’ former elite estates. Historical Sites and Landmarks Several historical sites are scattered across Center Moriches, each telling a different chapter in the area’s long history: Terry-Ketcham Inn: This well-preserved building from the 1600s offers an authentic glimpse into the early days of settlement on Long Island and the challenges settlers faced. Masury Estate Ballroom: As one of the few remnants of a grand estate, the ballroom adds an element of elegance to the community's historical architecture. Havens Homestead: Built in the 1750s, this farmhouse now serves as the home of the Moriches Bay Historical Society. It is a focal point for preserving and sharing local history, providing educational programs and exhibitions. Bell House (Slave House): This house holds particular historical significance as a reminder of the darker chapters of American history. The legacy of slavery in the North, though not as widely discussed, is an important part of the broader American story. Havens Ketcham Cultural Visitor Center (HKCVC): Another important landmark in understanding the area’s history, the HKCVC is a resource for visitors and locals alike to learn about the past. Just to mention a few.... Community and Culture One of the most striking aspects of Center Moriches is its sense of community. Despite the growth and changes the area has undergone, there is a real effort to keep the history alive and create a welcoming environment for residents and visitors. The Moriches Bay Historical Society plays a pivotal role in documenting and sharing the area’s rich past, ensuring that future generations appreciate the heritage that has shaped the community. Additionally, the proximity to Moriches Bay enhances the community’s appeal, offering opportunities for outdoor activities like boating, fishing, and enjoying the natural beauty of the area. The bay itself has been an important part of the local economy, providing resources for fishing and transportation in the early years, and continues to be a recreational hub today. From its Native American roots to its agricultural past and eventual suburban transformation, Center Moriches is a microcosm of the broader changes that have shaped Long Island. It manages to maintain a blend of historical preservation with modern living, creating a unique and rich place for residents to call home. The deep ties to the past, through landmarks, local history societies, and community engagement, ensure that the area's history continues to be celebrated.
