 a local historian believes that parts of this road, particularly the part of it on the east side of bayview avenue which included the driveway to HB Hollins Jrs.house, Crick Holly, was one of the earliest roads in the area and connected the first Nichol settlement located on the shore of the bay in Hecksher Park with Gibbs Patent, and a grist mill which Nichol and Gibbs operated on the west side of Chaplain's Creek and on to the village of islip.This road ran diagonal across all of the known and modern, grid like, roads in the area and the last of it, with the exception of what remains in Hecksher Park, was the driveway to HB Hollins Jrs.
