History
The easternmost third of East Massapequa (located east of Carman Creek, within the Amityville Union Free School District) – known as the hamlet of West Amityville – was previously its own Census-designated place known as West Amityville; it started utilizing a Massapequa mailing address in 1975, and subsequently merged into the East Massapequa CDP. Certain maps continue to designate this easternmost part of the CDP as West Amityville, but within Nassau County.
The name "East Massapequa" reflects the fact that the hamlet is located east of Massapequa and Massapequa Park.
