Commack (/KO-mack/ or /KOM-mack/)is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) in Suffolk County, New York, United States. The population was 36,367 at the 2000 census.
Commack is partly in the Town of Huntington and partly in the Town of Smithtown. It is located on Long Island.
Geography
According to the United States Census Bureau, the Commack, NY CDP has a total area of 12.1 square miles (31.2 km²), all land.
The name Commack comes from the Secatogue Indians who lived on the south shore between Copiague and Bayport. They named their northern lands in the center of the island Winnecomac meaning "Pleasant lands." This is what they must have thought when they looked over this area of flat lands with rich soil, and thick oak forests abounding with plants and wildlife. From the earliest days Commack was known for its fertile soil, abundance of game, and wood.
Today all of Commack is settled and suburbanized and, like most unincorporated areas of Long Island, does not have a true, walkable downtown or "Main Street." The community is served by four major thoroughfares: the Long Island Expressway, the Northern State Parkway, the Sunken Meadow State Parkway and the at-grade Jericho Turnpike. It also includes the historic Long Island Motor Parkway, which itself included the Spur to NY 25 that later became Harned Road.
Demographics
As of the census[1] of 2000, there were 36,367 people, 11,697 households, and 10,176 families residing in the CDP. The population density was 3,014.9 per square mile (1,164.3/km²). There were 11,824 housing units at an average density of 980.2/sq mi (378.5/km²).
In the CDP the population was spread out with 26.3% under the age of 18, 5.3% from 18 to 24, 29.7% from 25 to 44, 24.6% from 45 to 64, and 14.1% who were 65 years of age or older. The median age was 39 years. For every 100 females there were 95.4 males. For every 100 females age 18 and over, there were 91.3 males.
According to a 2007 estimate[3], the median income for a household in the CDP was $102,658, and the median income for a family was $110,825. Males had a median income of $61,475 versus $39,124 for females. The per capita income for the CDP was $30,840. About 2.0% of families and 2.8% of the population were below the poverty line, including 2.8% of those under age 18 and 4.5% of those age 65 or over.

In the media
On November 14, 2006, radio station WBLI rated the Commack Motor Inn second of the seven wonders of Long Island, [6][7] just behind the Flanders Duck and ahead of the Montauk Lighthouse. The Commack Inn gained notoriety by its advertisements on late night television and radio, extolling "the perfect romantic getaway", its "plush beds", "mirror ball disco room" and "heart-shaped love tubs". By the 1980s, the Commack Motor Inn had become such an accepted part of Long Island life, that its gift certificates were prizes at social clubs.[8]. In a 1994 interview, actress Rosie O'Donnell recounted "That's where everyone in high school went to have their first sexual experience".[9]
The song "Wannabe Gangster" by alternative rock band Wheatus mentions going "Back to Commack".
