The history of the area dates back to the early Native American Indians. The name Massapequa is taken from the Indian group that originally inhabited the land, the Marsapeagues. The Indian word ‘Massapeauke’ -- which translates to “Great Water Land” -- suits Massapequa’s south shore location and the many man-made lakes that are located within the area.
Today, this scenic community continues to grow while it strives to maintain its historical roots. Residents have the best of both worlds with a laid-back Long Island lifestyle, but just minutes from all the big city amenities of the city that never sleeps.
