According to the historian Simeon Wood, the first house in greater Hauppauge dates to 1731, being located on what would be the Arbuckle Estate, and later the southeast corner of the Hauppauge Industrial Park, near the intersection of Motor Parkway and Old Willets Path [REF].
Hauppauge gained significance as a waypoint on the King's Highway, laid out by the colonial legislature of New York in 1702 [REF].
