Woodbury and Syosset were an area known generally as East Woods, used initially the way the Indians did, for hunting. By the mid-1700s a small number of farmers began to cultivate land in the area. The center of the community was a tiny schoolhouse, notable mainly because poet Walt Whitman taught there for the 1837-38 school year. The tiny community remained isolated, connected only by old Indian paths to Cold Spring Harbor and Jericho, until the railroad arrived in nearby Syosset in 1854. It was the Dutch navigator, deVries, who named Oyster Bay, probably because of the fine oysters found here. Some contend, however, he was inspired by the shape of the fine Oyster Bay Harbor, which resembles an oyster as shown in this 1674 map of Long Island. The Dutch, intent on holding on to this desirable North Shore real estate, roundly rebuffed the first attempts on the part of English colonists to settle Oyster Bay. However, by 1653 a group of pioneers from Massachusetts, led by Peter Wright, had settled down to live in what would become the Town of Oyster Bay. Wright, often called the "Father of the Town of Oyster Bay", and his group purchased the land known as the "Town Spot" (roughly where the village of Oyster Bay is today) from Chief Mohanes of the Matinecock tribe. Since the town more or less straddled the boundaries of Dutch and English territory, it was not until the English conquered all of New Netherland that Oyster Bay Town residents were sure of whom they owed their allegiance.
