Ages for which our activities are most appropriate: 
Oyster Bay Town's hamlet of Locust Valley was originally part of a larger region called Matinecock, settled in 1667, that covered what is now northern Nassau County. The English Farmers in 1730 changed the local name to Buckram, probably after Buckenham, a town in Norfolk County, England, from which some of the pioneers had come. At a public meeting in 1856, the name became Locust Valley because of the many locust trees in the area.
