English: Plum Island is an island in the town of Southold in Suffolk County, New York. The island is situated in Gardiners Bay of the Long Island Sound, east of Orient Point, off the eastern end of the North Fork coast of Long Island. It is about 3 miles (4.8 km) long and 1 mile (1.6 km) wide at its widest point. The island is the site of the Plum Island Animal Disease Center (PIADC), which was established by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) in 1954. The Island is also the site of the former U.S. military installation Fort Terry (c. 1897), and the historic Plum Island Light (c. 1869), and its automated replacement. Congress voted in December 2020 to block the proposed sale of Plum Island sale and preserve it. In 2020, President Donald Trump signed the legislation.
