Caumsett State Historic Park is on Lloyd Neck, a peninsula extending into Long Island Sound, in the village of Lloyd Harbor, New York.[2] Lloyd Neck was originally part of Queens County, New York.[3]

Marshall Field III bought the property in 1921 and had an estate house built in 1925.[2] It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979.[1] The Marshall Field estate was purchased by New York State for $4 million on February 3, 1961 and became a state park.[4]

In May 1961, plans were made to create Caumsett State Parkway, a northern extension of Bethpage State Parkway, to provide access to the park.[5] Although right-of-way was acquired, the parkway was never built.[6] A portion of this land was later used to create Trail View State Park.
