Situated on top of the bluffs facing Long Island Sound; Miller Place is a treasure trove of Long Island history. With the arrival of the railroad in the late 1800s; the beaches became a popular holiday and summer camp destination. Initially boardinghouses served vacationers until proprietors opened inns and resorts. Throughout the 20th century; Miller Place attracted vacationers from nearby New York City; including Paul Newman; Arthur Miller; and a young Anjelica Huston. Drawn by its bucolic setting; friendly atmosphere; and career opportunities at nearby Stony Brook University and Hospital; commuters in the 1970s and 1980s expanded and updated vacation homes and developed new lots. As the population grew; the civic-minded residents formed their own high school; fire department; historical society; civic association; and the North Shore Youth Council. Miller Place�s historic homes; natural spaces; and strong public schools make the hamlet a desirable place to raise a family.
