St George's  Manor is situated on the east bank of the mouth of the Carman River. The manor was named by William "Tangier" Smith, the patentee and person who negotiated this and other properties from the Indians. It was described in 1693 as consisting of "tens of thousands of acres".

During the American Revolution it became Fort St George.

Stocks in the Manor's common are a reminder that slavery was also part of the early history of Long Island.

Below is the little cemetery on the Manor grounds, which is kept padlocked - the Smith family members in reverent, straight rows behind their patriarch.
