Boston connection         
When the LIRR was built in the mid 1830s, it was intended to be part of a through route to Boston, with a middle leg from here to New London Ct via steamship. That plan was dashed when the New Haven opened up the Connecticut coast in 1857. The pier at Greenport remains, fenced off and unused.
