Reproduction bird's-eye view map of Freeport, New York, drawn by Rene
Cinquin and published by Metropolitan Aero-View Co. in 1925. The village
of Freeport, a popular tourist and sportsmens' destination, lies along
the south shore of Long Island. The map's town "booster" statement from
1925 reads:
"Freeport occupies the
unique position of being the largest incorporated Village in the
greatest State in the Union. Being only about thirty minutes by train
from "Broadway, New York", it has all the suburban attractions with many
urban advantages.
It was settled about 1650. Before that
time it was populated by the Meroke Indians and relics and legends of
those early days still abound. It was once known as Raynortown, because
the Raynors predominated, but about the time of Civil War it received
the name Freeport, which name it is said to have received because it
could be reached from the Atlantic Ocean through Jones Inlet.
Its educational growth and facilities have kept pace with its rapidly
growing population, now about 20,000. It has 64 trains daily and over
2500 commuters, 5 public schools including a fine high school, three
active banks with resources of over $7,000,000, eleven churches,
thirteen of the leading fraternal societies, two yacht clubs, ten social
clubs, two bus lines and trolleys to the city.
Freeport
has its own Municipal Water and Light Plant and has a splendid Public
Memorial Library, a fine Fire and Police Department and other civic
requirements.
It is the home of the famous Light Club and
many other places of entertainment. With the well-known Great South Bay,
and its different inland water-ways, it affords unusual boating, fishing
and bathing advantages.
It has long been recognized as an
ideal all-the-year round place for those engaged in New York City to
have their homes and bring up their families. As a result also those
investing in homes there have materially increased their material wealth
at the same time that they have enjoyed the uplift and inspiration of
living in an ideal community."
