History and overview
The first settlement in what is now called Farmingdale occurred in the late 1700s, and was called Bald Hills and Mooney Ponds, before it eventually was called Farmingville (though the soil and hills are not good for agriculture). It did not have its own post office until 1950.[1]
The home of Elijah Terry, the first teacher in the local school, was built in 1823 and is on the National Register of Historic Places.
"Bald Hill", one of the highest points on Long Island, marks where the glacier which formed Long Island stopped its advance. At the top of Bald Hill is Vietnam Memorial Park, which includes an obelisk-shaped monument painted red, white, and blue, which was dedicated on Nov. 11, 1991.[1]. The Bald Hill Cultural Center features the outdoor Brookhaven Amphitheater and was previously the location of a ski area from 1965-80.

Community controversy
Farmingville has been a focal point of controversy regarding the situation of undocumented immigrants gathering in large groups on street corners and in front of businesses. Some community members have criticized and protested the lack of immigration-law enforcement, while day laborer supporters have proposed building a hiring hall for day laborers. There has been an attempted murder of two immigrants (as discussed in the critically acclaimed 2004 documentary film "Farmingville"), and a firebombing of a house.[2] The group Sachem Quality of Life Organization was formed in response to the influx of undocumented immigrants.[3] [[
