The hamlet was originally called Forge until 1893, when it was changed to the current name of Mastic. The Long Island Rail Road built a station in 1882 and, on July 15, 1960, the stop was moved 7010 ft west and renamed Mastic–Shirley.

The Poospatuck Indian Reservation lies entirely within the community, near its southern end and along the Forge River.

Part of the neighborhood lies within the hamlet of Shirley, but is served entirely by Mastic's zip code of 11950. ,
