The Stepping Stones Lighthouse in Nassau County, New York is a very old Victorian Style lighthouse built on a series of rocky reefs in Long Island Sound.
According to ancient Pre-Colombian Native American Sinawoy (Minnefords)Indians legends, The Tribe used Warriors and Medicine to chase the Devil out of Westchester County onto City Island (Greater Minneford Island) trapping him at Belden Point, City Island.
Local Legend says The Devil picked up huge boulders and tossed them into Long Island Sound and hopped onto them using them as Stepping Stones to escape.
The Natives gave the rocks there the name The Devils Stepping Stones and later it was dropped to just The Stepping Stones.
