Peconic was a station stop along the Greenport Branch of the Long Island Rail Road in Peconic, New York. The station was originally built as Hermitage station on May 1, 1848 (although some sources claim it dates back to 1844) but was renamed Peconic on the June 1876 timetable.{{cite web|url=http://www.lirrhistory.com/lirrsta.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20000519191920/http://www.lirrhistory.com/lirrsta.html|url-status=usurped|archive-date=May 19, 2000|title=early LIRR stations|work=lirrhistory.com}}[http://digitalarchives.queenslibrary.org/vital/access/services/Download/aql:337/SOURCE1?view=true The Long Island Railroad A Comprehensive History by Vincent F. Seyfried Part Three The Age of Expansion: 1863–1880 Station List Page 193] In August 1876 a second Peconic Station replaced the former one, which was built on the south side of the tracks and on the west side of Peconic Lane. This building also served as the post office. That station was razed in April 1942 and replaced with a shelter along the platform. The post office moved to the grocery store next door where it remains to this day. When Cutchogue station was closed in June 1962, the two nearest replacements were Mattituck station, which still exists today, and Peconic station, which ceased service in 1970.{{cite web|url=http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirrphotos/lirrstationshistory.htm|title=LONG ISLAND STATION HISTORY|work=trainsarefun.com|url-status=dead|archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20170526225709/http://www.trainsarefun.com/lirrphotos/lirrstationshistory.htm|archivedate=2017-05-26}}
