Diving into the History of Selden, New York

In the middle of the 18th Century, farmers referred to this region as Westfield(s). Captain Daniel Roe is one of the earliest better-known residents. He fought during the French and Indian War, serving as a captain during the Revolutionary War. Because of his sacrifices, Captain Daniel Roe Highway was named after him. He had settled in Selden before the Revolutionary War in a home on Middle Country Road. The Captain was laid to rest within a small family cemetery located behind the shopping center in Old Westfield just south of his house.

Leading up to the Revolutionary War, Captain Roe sided with the Patriots. In autumn of 1776, he was assigned to head up a raid against the Hessian and Tory that was led by his cousin named Richard Miller, who also happened to be a wanted man. Once Miller came by Roe's house in uniform, he was then confronted by the Patriots, who ordered him to dismount. Rather than comply, he fired his pistol and tried to flee. The militiamen shot him, and he was brought into Roe's house, where he succumbed to his injuries.

Building Community in Selden, NY, Throughout the 19th Century

In 1815, the first school district was drafted in the Westfield area, and it was made up of Coram and New Village, which was later called Centereach. This district was initially called District 25, only to later be renumbered in 1842 as District 12. It remained so until the Middle Country Central School District was formed in 1957.

The post office was opened in 1852 in Westfield. Later, an attorney by the name of Henry Selden requested the community be named after him. By 1885, Selden had 88 residents as well as a Presbyterian church. It was also known for the production of early garden vegetables and melons town-wide in their farms. A cross-island bike path was constructed in 1897 that went through Selden. One of the most popular stops along the trail was Wheelmen's Rest, run by a man named Albert Norton.
