History

the text in this section is copied from an article in Wikipedia

Bohemia, Long Island was founded in 1855. It was named Bohemia because it was settled by Slavic immigrants from a mountainous village near Kadaň in the Central European Kingdom of Bohemia. An important contribution they made to the development of Long Island was adding their rich Central European folklore to the local culture.
