Mastic was originally known as the "Forge" and renamed in 1893. This designated New York "hamlet" is tagged as a "CDP" (census-designated place), whose principal governance is provided by the nearby town of Brookhaven.
Neither a town, city or village, it's not exactly a forgotten "no man's land" as Mastic's main identity is bundled with its contiguous neighbors namely Shirley and Mastic Beach. As of the United States (U.S.) Census Bureau's 2010 report, Mastic had 15,481 residents. Mastic's major visitor appeal is its proximity to Fire Island, a unique patch where you can take Rover for a seven mile-long walk on the dog park path and return on an adventurous ferry-ride if you're both too pooped to hoof it back on foot.
