Alfred H. Bellot
Alfred Henry Bellot (22 December 1882 Birmingham, England – 19 May 1965 Miami, Florida) was a historian whose History of the Rockaways from the Year 1685 to 1917, published in 1918, was probably the definitive history up to that time of the communities on the Rockaway Peninsula in Queens County, New York City and the villages and hamlets which comprise what is known today as the Five Towns of Nassau County, Long Island, New York, namely Inwood, Lawrence, Cedarhurst, Woodmere and Hewlett.[1][2]

In 1917, Alfred H. 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."
