Correcting the immediate preceding post (I have the unfortunate habit of typing "west" when I really want to type "east"): The 3 "Moriches" are in the southeast, not the southwest, part of the Town of Brookhaven, and the comment at the end of the prior posting should read: For those who may not know, there are three separate "Moriches", from west to east: Moriches, Center Moriches and East Moriches, and all three are hamlets (unincorporated areas) in the southeast part of the Town of Brookhaven, in the southeast part of Suffolk County (they're located immediately to the west of the South Fork "Hamptons" area).
