Islip Hamlet land grant by British rulers William and Mary to Andrew Gibb in 1692. Associate of William Nichol and Leisler rebellion foe.
Beginnings: On March 26, 1692, Andrew Gibb, a friend and business partner of William Nicoll, Islip Town's founder, received a royal patent that made him owner of what was to become the pivotal community in Islip Town - the hamlet of Islip. The land Gibb obtained came to only about 3,500 acres but was the center of town commerce and social life in early times and has long been the seat of town government.
