Elevator Services for Buildings in East Rockaway, NY

East Rockaway, originally known as Near Rockaway, was established as a key trading and shipping hub along Long Island’s south shore. Its deep inland channels made it an ideal stop for cargo ships. In 1688, Joseph Haviland built a grist mill on the Mill River through a land grant — beginning the village’s long-standing ties to industry and local commerce. The historic Haviland-Davison Grist Mill, now located in Memorial Park, was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
Over the years, East Rockaway grew around shipping, milling, and baking — once operating its own bread oven to serve the community. Today, it’s a mix of residential and commercial development, with many buildings requiring modern elevator systems for safety, compliance, and accessibility. Island Elevator supports East Rockaway with responsive, local elevator service tailored to its unique coastal environment.
