What occurred

Steers and Steers Gravel Company was contracted to mine gravel in Northport. This gravel was to be used for construction in New York City. Due to the mining going unchecked for years, a large depression was carved into the land. The mining only ceased once the residents became unhappy with how expansive the depression had become.
