Montauk, a peninsula of land at the far eastern end of Long Island, derives its name from the Montaukett tribe, an Algonquian-speaking tribe who lived in this area. The Montauk Point Lighthouse, a popular tourist destination, was the first lighthouse in New York state and is the fourth oldest active lighthouse in the United States.
