Description
Lake Ronkonkoma, located in the center of Long Island, became a summer camp for wealthy New Yorkers with the arrival of the railroad in 1843.
By the 1890s, the luxurious hotels built around the lakeshore attracted visitors in droves. By day, people would enjoy the sparkling waters of the lake for boating, fishing, and swimming; at night, hotel guests could dance, gamble in the casino, and enjoy sumptuous meals. By the 1920s, as more people could afford automobiles, beach pavilions began decorating the shoreline of Lake Ronkonkoma. Thousands of people flocked to the summer paradise--buoyed by the promises of camping, canoeing, live music, and fireworks--up until World War II when gas rationing limited travel. By the 1950s, Lake Ronkonkoma had become a town populated by year-round residents
