Speonk, New York

Speonk (/ˈspiːɒŋk/, SPEE-ongk) is a hamlet located in the Town of Southampton, Suffolk County, New York, United States.

Most of the early residents came west from Southampton and Bridgehampton in the 1740s, building farms and clearing the forests of wood.

An 1897 Long Island Rail Road catalog listed Speonk, noting that that name "certainly sounds like the call of a frog."

[1] The Lovin' Spoonful recorded a song called "Big Noise From Speonk" on their 1966 album "Daydream."

David Leavitt wrote a short story called "Speonk," collected in The Marble Quilt (2001).
