In 2017, Celebrate St. James - Past - Present - Future was founded by Natalie Weinstein, Arline Goldstein & Jack Ader. The mission is to preserve and celebrate St. James' rich history and
inspire an appreciation of knowledge of the arts in our community. Please join us in this community revitalization. Visit the www.celebratestjames.org, attend events, donate or volunteer.
The hamlet of St. James was named for the Episcopal Church of St. James founded there in the mid 1800's. A US Postal service was later established with the same name. The arrival of the Long Island Railroad in 1873 allowed for easy access to and from New York City. This made St. James a popluar vacation spot fo the stars of New York stage and screen. In the days before air conditioning, the theaters closed for the summer and the actors went on vacation. Summer residents included Irving Berlin, Lionel, Ethel & John Barrymore, George M. Cohan, William Collier, buster Keaton, Myrna Loy, Ruth Roman, Lillian Russell, and others.
