hamlet in Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York, on the North Shore of Long Island
About Stony Brook
Stony Brook was a pretty unknown place untilStony Brook Universitywas constructed, but that's the way the wealthy residents of the hamlet wanted it. As a result, there has been very little development within walking distance of the university, other than a minimal strip of shops directly across the street from the train station. Instead, the center of the hamlet has remained where it was, two and one-half miles or so north of the train station, and retains a charming, old-fashioned feel.
