Orient Mosquito District

In April 1916, New York State approved a law allowing each town in Suffolk County to create a special district for the purpose of exterminating mosquitoes.

Five months later, Southold Town adopted legislation forming the Orient Mosquito District.

Orient is unique

It’s very difficult to compare Orient to other areas in terms of its effectiveness in combating mosquitoes, particularly because so much of the community is surrounded by wetlands and thus has more mosquito breeding grounds than surrounding hamlets.
