1936 - A forest fire burned several miles east of the town of Bandon, Oregon. The fire was far enough away that residents were not particularly worried. A sudden shift in the winds drove the flames westward and through town. The fire, caused by summer drought and fueled by the abundant Gorse Weed found in many of the empty spaces between buildings in Bandon, caused so much destruction that only a handful of structures were left standing when the fire finally died down.

Long Island is an unincorporated community in Campbell County, Virginia, United States. Long Island is located along the Roanoke River, (also known as the Staunton River) east-southeast of Altavista. The town center of Long Island is on the other side of the river from the island that gave the community its name.
The main road through the community is Virginia Secondary Route 761 (Long Island Road), and the community is almost entirely agricultural. A former Norfolk and Western Railway line runs through the community on the northeast bank of the Staunton River. A boat ramp exists south of VSR 761.
Green Hill was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1969.
