Merrick Road divides the village east to west and the other major east-west artery is Sunrise Highway. The main north-south bisector is Merrick Avenue.

European colonist arrived in 1643 and the area became a trading center thanks to deep channels in the Jones Inlet. During the War of 1812, the channels and coves nearby were a haven for buccaneers preying on merchants.
