== History ==
Coram is the oldest settlement in the central part of the town of Brookhaven. Its early name was "Wincoram", perhaps the name of a Native American who lived in the area as late as 1703. The first Caucasian settler in the area was likely William Satterly, who sought permission to open a tavern to cater to travelers in 1677.〔(History of Coram ), by Osborn Shaw, Brookhaven Town Historian (1947), Longwood's Journey website, Retrieved 2009-10-22〕
During the American Revolutionary War, Benjamin Tallmadge's Culper Ring captured and burned 300 tons of British hay at what later become the corner of New York State Route 25 and New York State Route 112.〔(Burning of the Hay (Longwood Public Library) )〕
From 1784 to 1885, Coram served as the meeting place for the Town of Brookhaven government, using the Davis Town Meeting House for much of that period.〔(The Lester Davis Home (Longwood Public Library) ), Retrieved 2009-10-22〕 The Davis House, built in the 1750s, was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2001 and is the oldest existing structure in Coram.
A small airport existed in Coram until 1984.〔(Coram Airport Site (WikiMapia) )〕
