Farmingville is home to Bald Hill, one of the highest points on Long Island, rising to about 331 feet above the surrounding suburbs.

Atop Bald Hill stands Suffolk County Vietnam Veterans Memorial Park, crowned by a 100-foot tapered spire painted red, white and blue.

The Bald Hill memorial was dedicated on November 11, 1991, and its base is inscribed with the names of 256 Suffolk County residents killed in the Vietnam War.

The Farmingville Historical Society notes that Suffolk County is home to more than 45,000 Vietnam veterans, described as the largest concentration of them in the United States.

Farmingville Hills County Park preserves more than 100 acres of parkland at Bald Hill, including the one-room Bald Hill Schoolhouse, built in 1850 and closed in 1929, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1988.

The community was the subject of the 2004 documentary film "Farmingville," which examined the tensions that followed the attempted murder of two Mexican immigrant workers after roughly 1,500 Hispanic day laborers had moved into the area in the late 1990s.
