Manhattan bedrock is very close to the surface and extremely strong. It’s why the island can support the architecture that it does.

history of Lloyd Harbor. I just followed the related pages at the bottom of OPs wiki article. This is one of the citations. Essentially Loyd Neck was part of Oyster Bay, which was a Queens township, and was annexed to Huntington and by extension Suffolk county in 1885. Four years later, Nassau split from Queens altogether.

The wildest factoid to me is that Huntington, in Suffolk, was part of Queens and even called Queens Village.
