Smithtown was first settled around 1665 when Richard Smith acquired the land after rescuing a Native American chief's daughter. According to local legend, Smith was granted title to all the land he could ride around on a bull in one day. The current town boundaries approximate what Smith was able to circle. There is a large statue of Smith's bull, known as Whisper, at an intersection in town. The border between Smithtown and Huntington is partially defined by Bread and Cheese Hollow Road, named after where Smith stopped on his ride to have bread and cheese.

2. The town was first settled around 1665. Local legend has it that
after rescuing a Native American Chief's kidnapped daughter, was
told that the Chief would grant title to all of the land Smith could
encircle in one day - on a bull. Richard Smith chose to ride the bull
on the longest day of the year (summer solstice) - to enable him to
ride longer "in one day". The land he acquired in this way is said
to approximate the current town's location. There is a large
anatomically correct statue of Smith's bull, known as Whisper, at
the fork of Jericho Turnpike and St. Johnland Road. Smithtown
originally was known as "Smithfield."
The border between Smithtown and the Town of Huntington is
partially defined by Bread and Cheese Hollow Road( Suffolk
country road 4), so named after Bread and Cheese hollow, which
according to legend is where Smith stopped on his ride to have a
lunch of bread and cheese. The road is reputed to follow part of
his original ride.
