Originally referred to as "East of Islip," the name was acquired in 1890 from the estate of William Nicoll, an English aristocrat who purchased surrounding land on the 29th of November, 1683, to erect a family residence. Nicoll's purchase comprised 51,000 acres (210 km2) from the Secatogue Indians, reaching as far as Bayport, to the East, Babylon to the West and Ronkonkoma, to the North. His mansion, Islip Grange, named after his family's ancestral estate at Northampshire, England, stood near the shoreline of what is now Heckscher State Park. East Islip, as well as many hamlets along Long Island's south shore, was once an enclave for some of the nations wealthiest families.
Today the hamlet is no longer a haven to New York and the social elite. What remains are much smaller, yet affluent communities and few estates. Many of these newer communities were built on the land that was once part of former estates that were sold off; most notably the estate of Percy G. Williams. The Moorings, an opulent waterfront guard-gated private community is one of the hamlet's premier neighborhoods. Other neighborhoods within the hamlet include Deer Run and Percy Williams Cove.
