The hamlet of Manorville was a small farming community for many years. The area of the hamlet once laid within the huge tract of land known asManor St. George,[2] a land grant given toCol. William "Tangier" Smith in 1693 for recognition of his service as governor ofTangier inMorocco. In 1844, theLong Island Rail Road built a station calledSt. George's Manor, which was situated off of Ryerson Avenue. However, Seth Raynor, the station agent who was a patriot during theAmerican Revolutionary War, disliked the name due to its similarity to the British and their colonial dominance (Saint George, the patron saint of England, is a symbol of the English monarchy), and decided to paint over the sign, leaving only the word "Manor". The hamlet changed its name to "Manorville" with the opening of its post office in 1907, but timetables and Long Island Rail Road documents retained the name "Manor" until 1907 or 1908.[3]
TheLong Island serial killer is sometimes dubbed the "Manorville killer" because four victims' remains were discovered in Manorville from 2000 to 2011.[4]
According to theUnited States Census Bureau, the CDP has an area of 25.5 square miles (66.1 km2), of which 25.5 square miles (66.0 km2) is land and 0.04 square miles (0.1 km2), or 0.16%, is water.[5]
The hamlet is at the western edge of, and partially within, theLong Island Central Pine Barrens. The land is heavily wooded, and features some wetlands, particularly in the northern section near thePeconic River. Much of the northeastern portion of the hamlet is in the Pine Barrens' "Core Preservation Area", where no further development is allowed. This area also serves as a primary source for Long Island's groundwater preserve.
Manorville is in the center ofLong Island with no access to the water. It lies partially on the Ronkonkoma terminalmoraine, which creates some slightly rolling topography, especially in the central portion of the hamlet. The glacial topography of the area features severalkettle hole ponds, the most well-known of which is Punk's Hole,[2] where aRevolutionary War captain was rumored to have hid from the British.
