Niamuck was once the primary location of settlemen

Niamuck was once the primary location of settlement for the Shinnecock people prior to the current Shinnecock Reservation. From the current Shinnecock Canal to the southernmost land tip, the Shinnecock people existed before contact.
Shinnecock people primarily resided in the area until ca. 1703, though historical maps show continued presence until the mid 19th century.
In 1791, Rev. Paul Cuffee organized a Congressional church in the Niamuck area. Part of the church remains in the area while the other half was moved to the Shinnecock Reservation and is still used today. Cuffee was buried on the spot where the church once stood.
This place is now known as the Shinnecock Canal.

Chepiohkomuk-qut, also known as the Solecki site,

Chepiohkomuk-qut, also known as the Solecki site, is given the name Chepiohkomuk-qut (the place apart) due to material evidence suggesting that the cremated human remains that were likely burned on the site were transported for interment.
Chepiohke translates to ‘the place apart, place of separation’.
With the locative affix, the site may be named Chepiohk-it or Chepiohkomuk-qut.

In 2003, a group burial was discovering during residential development and a house barn construction, dating back to between 1400 to 1640 AD. Shinnecock tribal members argued against further disruption of the soil, seeing the proposed barn as a cemetery site.
Despite resistance, the private owners continued development while the remains were reburied in an undisclosed location on Shelter Island.
