The neighborhood was taken its name from an Indian tribe. The three communities such as Head of the Harbor, Stony Brook Harbor, and Nissequogue have shared their histories for three centuries. It was all started when Smithtown founder Richard Smith began deeding land on Head of the Harbor, formerly known as Stony Brook Neck to one of his sons, Adam. Adam Smith built on the east side of Three Sisters Harbor, recently known as Stony Brook Harbor. Several years later, Richard Smith again deeded land in what is now known as Nissequogue to his other children and they established many farms there. The area around the intersection developed its own identity as Saint James in 1856. It happened when Episcopalians decided to build their own church closer to home. In 1854, the church had been completely finished and named the post office as Saint James by the U.S. Postal Service.
