Nassau County communities in the 2nd district include Levittown, North Wantagh, Seaford, South Farmingdale, and Massapequa. Suffolk County communities include Amityville, Copiague, Lindenhurst, Gilgo, West Babylon, Wyandanch, North Babylon, Babylon, Baywood, Brentwood, Brightwaters, Central Islip, Islip, Great River, Ocean Beach, Oakdale, West Sayville, Bohemia, and Ronkonkoma.

From 2003-13 it included all of the town of Huntington and parts of the towns of Babylon, Islip, and Smithtown in Suffolk County as well as part of the town of Oyster Bay in Nassau County. It comprised such communities as Bay Shore, Brentwood, Central Islip, Commack, Deer Park, Dix Hills, Huntington, Melville, North Amityville, Northport, Oakdale, Plainview, Ronkonkoma, Sayville and Wyandanch. Much of this area is now the 3rd District, while most of the territory currently in the 2nd District was located in the 3rd District.

Republican		 March 4, 1805 –
March 3, 1809		 The districts were separated again, and a second seat was added to the 2nd district
George Clinton, Jr. Democratic-
Republican

Note: Mumford is usually listed as member from the 2nd District, and Clinton from the 3rd District, because Clinton was elected to fill the vacancy caused by the election of Mitchill to the U.S. Senate, and Mitchill had been elected previously in the 3rd District. However, in 1804 Mitchill was already re-elected on the 2nd/3rd general ticket, and both Clinton and Mumford were elected in special elections, receiving votes in both districts.

1809–1823: two seats

From 1809 to 1823, two seats were apportioned to the second district, elected at-large on a general ticket.
