Wampmissick or Wampmissic was a station on the Main Line of the Long Island Rail Road.
[1] After James Wick, also known as James H. Weeks, became the president of the LIRR in 1847 he built a large woodhouse and turntable at Wampmissic and had trains stop at Wampmissic because he owned a large farm and woodlands here.
[2] He had hoped to boom his property but when he ceased to be president the buildings were torn down.
The station is mentioned in the Annual Report of the American Institute, on the Subject of Agriculture, Volume 6,[3] and in the Annual Report of the American Institute of the City of New York also in 1848, which describes a growth of herd grass by the train.
The station is mentioned in the American Railway Guide, and Pocket Companion, for the United States from 1851, although no trains are listed as stopping there.
