Amityville, Long Island, NEW YORK - High School - 1906 - Suffolk County: Amityville is a village in the town of Babylon in Suffolk County, New York, in the United States. The population was 9,523 at the 2010 census. Huntington settlers first visited the Amityville area in 1653 as a source of salt hay. Chief Wyandanch granted the first deed to land in Amityville in 1658. The area was originally called Huntington West Neck South (it is on the Great South Bay and Suffolk County, New York border in the southwest corner of what once called Huntington South but is now the Town of Babylon. According to village lore, the name was changed in 1846 when residents met to find a better name for its new post office. The meeting turned into bedlam and one participant was to exclaim, \"What this meeting needs is some amity\". Another version says the name was first suggested by mill owner Samuel Ireland to name the town for his boat, the Amity. The postcard offers a colored, tailored view of this old school building. This Divided Back Era postcard, mailed in 1906, is in good condition, but it has lost its stamp. GE Wheelock & Co., Peoria, Ill. No. 179. Made in Germany.
