Miller Place is a hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) located in the Town of Brookhaven, Suffolk County, New York, United States. While it has retained much of its historic character, the 20th century saw transformations that turned the hamlet into a sought-after and densely populated suburban area. According to the 2020 census, the population was recorded as 11,723.

Miller Place and Mount Sinai share historical ties, with residents often participating in shared institutions such as the Mount Sinai Congregational Church, situated on the border of the hamlet. Additionally, the harborfront area of Port Jefferson, located 5 miles to the west, serves as a primary commercial downtown walking area for residents of both Miller Place and Mount Sinai.

Miller Place has a rich history dating back to the 17th century and derives its name from the Miller family, who were among its early settlers. Throughout much of its history, the community thrived as an agriculture-based society.

In 1664, settlers from Setauket purchased the land that would become Miller Place from the native Setalcott tribe. This parcel also encompassed what would later develop into Mount Sinai, a neighboring community with similar characteristics, leading to a close relationship between the two areas.

The first documented dwelling in the region dates back to the 1660s and was constructed by Captain John Scott, a prominent figure in Long Island’s early history. Known as Braebourne, this house stood on the eastern side of Mount Sinai Harbor and was one of three residences commissioned by Scott, who held various roles including royal advisor and cartographer.

Although the original settler of Miller Place remains unidentified, the settling of the area is largely attributed to the Miller family. In 1679, Andrew Miller, an East Hampton settler and cooper by trade, acquired a 30-acre plot. Historical records suggest that Andrew Miller immigrated from either Maidstone, England or Craigmillar, Scotland.

Miller Place is situated on the North Shore of Long Island, boasting a scenic two-mile stretch of beach. Additionally, it encompasses the eastern shoreline of Mount Sinai Harbor, which it shares with neighboring Mount Sinai and Port Jefferson. The hamlet’s borders also extend to Sound Beach, Rocky Point, Middle Island, and Coram.

Characterized by its diverse topography, the area features hills, particularly near the beach, alongside expanses of grass and trees. While the soil is conducive to agriculture, the demand for housing has resulted in the conversion of most farms into suburban housing communities or commercial areas.

As of the 2020 census, Miller Place had a population of 11,723 people residing in 3,847 households, with an average of 3.11 persons per household. The population density in 2010 was recorded at 1,883.4 inhabitants per square mile (727.2/km2). The racial composition of the CDP was predominantly White, with 88.7% of individuals identifying as White alone, not Hispanic or Latino. Other racial groups included 0.3% African American, 1.0% Asian, and 2.4% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino individuals constituted 9.1% of the population.

Regarding age distribution, there was a diverse spread, with 25.7% of the population under the age of 18, 10.9% aged 18 to 24, 17.6% aged 25 to 44, 29.1% aged 45 to 64, and 16.7% who were 65 years of age or older. Women comprised 48.6% of the total population.
