Manorville is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Suffolk County, New York, United States.
In 1844, the Long Island Rail Road built a station called St. George's Manor, which was situated off of Ryerson Avenue.
However, Seth Raynor, the station agent who was a patriot during the American Revolutionary War, disliked the name due to its similarity to the British and their colonial dominance (Saint George, the patron saint of England, is a symbol of the English monarchy), and decided to paint over the sign, leaving only the word "Manor".
The hamlet changed its name to "Manorville" with the opening of its post office in 1907, but timetables and Long Island Rail Road documents retained the name "Manor" until 1907 or 1908.
Much of the northeastern portion of the hamlet is in the Pine Barrens' "Core Preservation Area", where no further development is allowed.
It lies partially on the Ronkonkoma terminal moraine, which creates some slightly rolling topography, especially in the central portion of the hamlet.
On the 70 acres surrounding the statue, there are several attractions including a Rosary walk through the woods, the Stations of the Cross, and a large Pietà.
