PFEIFFER'S POND

Pfeiffer's Pond, North of the Middle Country Road, west of County Road 21, in the hollow opposite the Longwood Public Library; from the Davis Erhardt Collection

The Middle Island - Rocky Point Road was not built until 1931. Prior to that the Middle Island -Yaphank Road terminated at Rte. 25. If you went west about 100 yards, the Middle Island -Millers Place Road was on the north side of Middle Country Road, opposite the library. Today many people drive past it and don't realize it's even there. For many years it was a well traveled road, which took people to the north shore. The pond on that road was used to water horses and cattle.
