History of the park:

Around 1798 -- Elizabeth and Susannah Smith Blydenburgh, descendants of the Smiths of Smithtown and wives of Benjamin and Isaac Blydenburgh, inherit the land that is now the park.

Susannah and Isaac bought out Elizabeth's share and constructed a mill complex with Isaac's cousins, Joshua and Caleb Smith.

1821 -- Blydenburgh-Weld house built. Nearby mill complex.

1938 -- David and Mary Floyd Weld buy the land.

1965 -- Suffolk County purchases the property. On the grounds is the historic Blydenburgh-Weld House (now housing the Long Island Greenbelt Office).

1969 -- Suffolk County names the property Blydenburgh Park.
