Blood, Trauma, and Biohazard Cleanup in Old Field, NY

Old Field is an incorporated village in the Town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County, on the North Shore of Long Island, New York, and it was incorporated in 1927.

The 2020 census counted 893 residents in Old Field, down slightly from 918 people in 300 households at the 2010 census and 947 people in 313 households in 2000.

Old Field's defining landmark is the Old Field Point Light at the northern tip of the village between the entrances to Port Jefferson Harbor and Stony Brook Harbor, first built by the United States government in 1823 for $2,500 and completed in 1824.

A new lighthouse was built on the point in 1868, and the lighthouse together with the adjacent Keeper's Cottage now serves as the Old Field Village Hall complex.

The Village of Old Field bought the lighthouse property from the federal government in 1927, the year it incorporated, for $2,400, and the lighthouse, keeper's home, and oil shed have since been placed on the New York State Register of Historic Places.

The land that became Old Field was sold by the Setalcott people in the 1650s and was divided among the freeholders of Setauket in the First Division of the Old Field Land in 1661, remaining farmland for centuries because of its remote location.

Flax Pond, a tidal estuary lying behind a barrier beach, sits at the center of the village on Long Island Sound.

Village residents reach their beach, known as Whitehall Beach, by a right of way running south from the lighthouse grounds along Old Field Road.

The Old Field Club, built in 1929 by Ward Melville as a swim club for residents, operates today as a private tennis and beach club, and the Old Field Horse Farm and Stables, built by Melville in 1931, were visited by the Hearst and Guggenheim families.

The village covers about 2.2 square miles in total, of which roughly 2.1 square miles is land.
