Significance: The Bayshore region is significant for its early commercial history, as a principle point of trans-shipment of goods being brought to and from the interior. The shipping industry greatly benefitted from the Bayshore region's close proximity to New York. Among the industries which prospered in the region were brick and coal production, canning industries, boat building, fishing and oystering. As summering became popular the towns of the Bayshore region also developed into summer resorts, particularly convenient for visitors from New York.
