WHY IS IT CALLED GARVIES POINT?
Most of the present-day Garvies Point Preserve was formerly part of the Garvie Estate, named for Thomas Garvie, who emigrated from Scotland to Glen Cove in 1803. One of only two local physicians at the time, Garvie was a talented young surgeon, businessman, geologist and maritime enthusiast, and a pillar of the local community.
