History?[edit]

I'd expect some history. I believe this is one of the oldest roads in the area.-Jmabel | Talk 22:17, 10 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I have a feeling there's a lot more history to this that what we see here, especially considering the apparent connection to Old Farmingdale Road, Little East Neck and Great East Neck Roads. Plus you've got the name Fulton Street, which is also partially shared by New York State Route 24 (Fulton Avenue) in Hempstead. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 14:26, 10 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

https://www.rooseveltufsd.org/domain/113 indicates that it was already a hard-surfaced road in 1900. - Jmabel | Talk 04:12, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

https://libguides.freeportlibrary.info/c.php?g=435576&p=3738861 makes mention of the Babylon Turnpike in an item about 1833! - Jmabel | Talk 04:14, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, but Freeport has their own Babylon Turnpike, though, and it's located at Exits M7E and M7W/ It's not the same road as NY 109. ---------User:DanTD (talk) 22:36, 12 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Ah, and the Roosevelt one is the same as the Freeport one. Interesting. So maybe the one this article is about is not so old. Probably should have some mention of the potential confusion of names, then. There's a redirect here from Babylon Turnpike, and it was indeed the Freeport/Roosevelt one I was interested in. - Jmabel | Talk 04:33, 13 April 2022 (UTC)[reply]
