Do you know of Oyster Bay ???

This page is an orphan - a placeholder until we can discover more about Oyster Bay. When we encounter a name that is new to us, we add it to our Gazetteer with the hope that we'll discover more information in the future. Such is the case with Oyster Bay.<1>

Our sources for Oyster Bay (see Mentions and References below) indicate that it was a community with a post office by the same name. Unfortunately our sources aren't clear about the location of Oyster Bay other than they indicate that Oyster Bay would be found somewhere in Queens County, New York.
