The area of Fort Salonga was essentially established by way of a deeded property from Sarah Smith, wife of Richard Smith, to her son Daniel in 1695. The deed identified 100 acres at the western part of Smithtown in an area known then as Fresh Pond. During the American Revolution, the British established a fortification at Treadwell’s Neck called Fort Slongo. This name shifted to Fort Salonga through the 1800s.
