Commack, New York
Commack ( ) is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in the towns of Huntington and Smithtown in Suffolk County, on Long Island, in New York. The CDP's population was 36,124 at the 2010 census. History The name "Commack" comes from the Secatogue Native American tribe who lived on the South Shore of Long Island between Copiague and Bayport.

Commack is a suburban area, and, like most unincorporated places on Long Island, does not have a walkable downtown or " Main Street".
