The name of the hamlet stems from the Native American Algonquian word “Pauquaconsuk”, which means, “The place where we wade for thick, round-shelled clams”. English colonist adopted “Wading in the River”, or the shortened version “Wading River” as the name for their community. Eight colonial families settled the area. Records dating back to 1671 indicate they chose the location for its good water, rich soil, woodland fuel source, the protective nature of the topography, meadowlands for grazing and abundant seafood. The year 1947 marked a turning point for the hamlet. Soldiers were returning from WWII and building homes in Wading River.
