Wikipedia
Wyandanch (born 1615, Montauk Village, Paum-man-ak-e, New York–died 1658, Long Island City, Queens, New York) was a sachem of the Montaukett Indians in the mid-17th century on eastern Long Island. Initially he was a minor chief among the Montaukett, but due to his skillful manipulation of various alliances and his accommodating stance towards the European colonists who gave him substantial military and economic support, he eventually became an influential "alliance chief" (a sachem who was responsible for maintaining friendly relations between his tribe and the settlers).
Wyandanch is a station along the Main Line ( Ronkonkoma Branch) of the Long Island Rail Road. It is located on Straight Path ( Suffolk CR 2) and Long Island Avenue, off Acorn Avenue in Wyandanch, New York. All parking near the station is free, and maintained either by Suffolk County or the Town of Babylon.
