History
In the early 1970s, during the administration of Mayor James Donahue, Nissequogue Village Hall opened inside the former Moriches Road Schoolhouse. Nissequogue Village Hall was dedicated to Donahue in 2017.
In 1973, Donahue and his administration established the Village of Nissequogue Fire Department and purchased the land for the village's firehouse. The village created the fire department after the Saint James Fire Department, which had served the village for decades, proposed increasing their rates for fire protection services in Nissequogue.
The Mayor of Nissequogue (as of July 2022), Richard B. Smith, is a descendant and a namesake of the first English settler of the village, Richard Smith (Smythe).
