Cold Spring Harbor

Highlights
Cold Spring Harbor

Cold Spring Harbor developed as a company town. And the company was run by the Jones family. The descendants of Maj. Thomas Jones, a prominent Massapequa landowner for whom Jones Beach was named, not only established Long Island's largest whaling company, they also built mills and launched other ventures, including an attempt at railroading.
