Hello, We Are Fort Salonga
An interesting tidbit came across my screen today:
cctvcameraworld.com ranks the top 100 safest communities. New York State has 10 within the top 25, and only 1 on Long Island, our very own Northport ranks #2 safest, only behind Wayland, MA.
The rankings were based on the total crime rate in 7,000 cities across the country. The total crime rate is all crimes such as violent crimes (murder, rape, assault, etc.) as well as property crimes (burglary, larceny-theft, motor vehicle theft, and arson).by past FSA President Frank Konop

About the Fort Salonga Association
To preface about the Fort Salonga Association (FSA), all officers and board members are residents of Fort Salonga, some for many years. The Association is always looking for Fort Salonga residents to be an active member of their community. Being a board member does not entail a lot of time. Being active in your community's association helps to maintain the very reason each of us moved here. In doing so it helps to bring together members of the community to enjoy all the hamlet and the FSA has to offer.
The Fort Salonga Association monitors and engages with local government, advocating on community members' behalf and offering counsel on issues that impact residents.
The Association hosts an annual spring brunch, a spring egg hunt, holiday caroling in December, and more. It also publishes a quarterly newsletter for all households in the hamlet, and provides news and other community updates through this web site. This also allows us to provide more up-to-date information.
Who joins the Fort Salonga Association?
Anyone who lives in Fort Salonga is encouraged to join the Association. Each spring the Association promotes its annual membership, which is $20 per household. Households do not need to join to receive newsletters, but know that your annual dues payment helps the Association promote the community and advocate on its behalf to help preserve our way of life.
