From Glenn Curtiss, the first pilot to fly a plane on the island, to Earle Ovington, who carried the country s first airmail, the area has been known as the cradle of aviation. Millionaire William K. Vanderbilt s Long Island Motor Parkway, remnants of which still remain, was the nation s first highway.
