Bartlett's was a private flag stop on the
Medford station
and thus much further north than Bellport, it included a stagecoach connection down Bellport (Station) Road to Bellport Village, hence the station's name.
History
The station is mentioned in 1852 in the New York Traveller.Manorville Branch, the Main Line and the proposed SSRRLI right of way past Patchogue to meet with the Manorville Branch). This station was renamed "Bartlett's Station" on May 21, 1880[6] after NYS Court of Appeals Justice Willard Bartlett, whose father had purchased a farm in Brookhaven, then an estate of over 1000-acres.[7] The station was abandoned at some point. The stop was a private flag-stop, which eventually was closed.
