New Dorp, from the Dutch for new village, was settled in 1671 south of the earlier Dutch community at Oude Dorp, and part of its farmland later became Miller Field. Midland Beach had grown into a seaside resort by the 1890s, with a pier reaching 1,700 feet into the ocean, rides and a boardwalk. Today New Dorp is one of the island's most thriving commercial centers, with a Staten Island Railway station on New Dorp Lane.
