Mastic Beach is a village in the southeast part of the town of Brookhaven in Suffolk County, New York, United States. The population was 12,930 at the 2010 census, at which time it was an unincorporated census-designated place.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=United States Census Bureau )〕 The village is located in the general vicinity of the hamlet of Mastic Beach. Mastic Beach is located on the South Shore of Long Island from New York City, and accessible via the Long Island Rail Road. Nearby are Smith Point County Park and the Fire Island National Seashore. Mastic Beach is on a peninsula extending into Moriches Bay. Created in 1928, there are marinas, private docks, and several historic sites. There is sailing, swimming, fishing, birding, hiking, camping and shopping. Mastic Beach is served by the William Floyd School District. == History == The hamlet of Mastic Beach was originally formed in 1928 by the Mastic Beach Property Owners Association (MBPOA), a private membership civic organization.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=About the MBPOA )〕 In 2010, a group of residents sought to incorporate Mastic Beach as a village. Petitioners blamed the town of Brookhaven for not doing enough code enforcement on blighted streets and eyesore buildings, believing more diligent code enforcement under village control would improve the community aesthetics. Opponents were concerned that creating the village would increase taxes, and that estimates for the proposed village's total budget were low. At $549,500 annually, the village would take up building code enforcement, leaving police, fire, and sanitation to Brookhaven. After a vote on August 31, 2010, incorporation was approved. The proposed incorporation needed to be passed by a majority in order for the hamlet to become a village. The first elected mayor was Paul Breschard. The boundaries of the village of Mastic Beach differ from those of the previous census-designated place (CDP). The village does not include the William Floyd House grounds as well as a few blocks in the extreme southwest of the CDP, but it adds several blocks west of Mastic Road and Commack Road.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mastic Beach Village Exploratory Committee )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Mastic Beach, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
