Geocache Description:


Welcome to Copiague History and facts Geo-Art design as part of an Eagle Scout project by Troop 2000.   The Eagle represents the Copiague schools’ mascot and the Eagle scout rank in scouting.  This GeoArt is designed to bring attention to the beautiful hamlet of Copiague while learning history & trivia you might not have known existed around you.  This Eagle project was done in conjunction with the Town of Babylon Beautification Program.

The cache is not at the posted coordinates.  All questions are multiple choice and the answers can easily be found.

With the increasing population of Copiague, the community needed a fire department. After the formation of the fire department, its first major call was at a factory where the fire had spread to neighboring shops. When was the Copiague Fire Department created?
