Commack (/ˈkoʊmæk/ KOH-mak) is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the towns of Huntington and Smithtown in Suffolk County, on Long Island, in New York.

[2] The name "Commack" comes from the Secatogue Native American tribe who lived on the South Shore of Long Island between Copiague and Bayport.

"[citation needed] The name may have been inspired because of the area's flat lands with rich soil, and thick oak forests abounding with plants and wildlife.

[citation needed] From its earliest days, Commack, originally spelled "Comac" had fertile soil which made it the perfect land for farming.

The property was sold to the Brooklyn Baptist Young Peoples Union in 1915 and became a fresh air home, or camp, named Sunshine Acres.

[9] On November 14, 2006, radio station WBLI rated the Commack Motor Inn second of the seven wonders of Long Island,[11][12] just behind the Flanders Duck and ahead of the Montauk Lighthouse.

The Commack Inn gained notoriety by its advertisements on late-night television and radio, extolling "the perfect romantic getaway", its "plush beds", "mirror ball disco room" and "heart-shaped love tubs".

By the 1980s, the Commack Motor Inn had become such an accepted part of Long Island life that its gift certificates were prizes at social clubs.

American rock band Wheatus heavily referenced Commack satirically on their 2000 debut album in their song Wannabe Gangstar.
