Bohemia is a hamlet located in Suffolk County, New York, in the Town of Islip. On March 21, 1851, Brentwood became the utopian community named Modern Times. The colony was established on 750 acres of land by Josiah Warren and Stephen Pearl Andrews. In 1864, it was renamed Brentwood after the town of Brentwood, Essex, in England. Brentwood is the site of Pilgrim State Hospital (once one of the world’s largest hospitals and psychiatric institutions), now known as Pilgrim Psychiatric Center. A 52-acre portion of the psychiatric center was converted into the Brentwood State Park athletic field complex, which officially opened in 2009.
