The hamlet is known for its rich and significant history. Manorville was formerly called Punk’s Hole. The hole still exists about 1,000 feet south of Hot Water Road, just east of its intersection with Halsey Manor Road where a Revolutionary War captian was rumored to have hid from the British. The area once lay within the huge tract of land known as Manor St. George. In 1963, the land was grant given to Col. William Smith in recognition of Smith’s service as the governor of Tangier, Morocco, Africa. The hamlet was given its current name in 1844 when the Long Island Rail Road built a station at Manorville and named it “St. George’s Manor”. Seth Raynor, was an ardent Patriot during the Revolution and detested the label St. George because of its association with the British king. He brought paint and brush from his home by deleting “St. George’s” and leaving “Manor.” Subsequently,it was changed to Manorville by the Post Office.
