Bellot wrote in History of the Rockaways that Hog Island, and especially the establishment run by Patrick Craig, had become the 1890's version of the Hamptons: "Many conferences of great import to New York City took place in this out-of-doors annex to Tammany Hall, and it was at this time that the village was called familiarly in certain political circles, the Irish Saratoga."
