Many direct descendants of East Quogue's founding families are still a vital part of our community. Specifically, family names such as Carter, Phillips, Downs, Jackson, Ryder, Squires, Foster, Halsey, Culver, Vail, and Hallock are not simply street names from over 100 years ago, but they are the names of families still active in our community. Also many families who arrived just before the turn of-the-century and are still with us today, with names including Sacks, Kuroski, Kracke, Mendenhall, Wright, and Densieski. East Quogue has a rich history, and to learn more about the early years of our hamlet, please visit the East Quogue Methodist Church for more detailed historical information.
