Corporate Name

In the midst of the turmoil of the American Revolution, a small  group of patriots from New York and Connecticut committed themselves to  serving the colonial cause by joining a nascent espionage network that  would come to be known as the Culper Ring. They gathered critical  information on British military movements and delivered encrypted  reports to George Washington and the Continental Army. The Culper Ring’s  code used numbers to represent people and places. 711 stood for George  Washington, 727 for New York City, and 729 for Setauket, a town on the  north shore of Long Island in New York, where the core members of the  network resided. One of the earliest examples of intelligence gathering  in American history, the Culper Ring is a symbol of our national legacy  of ingenuity, skill, and innovation in the intelligence realm. The  Setauket Company strives to embody those same qualities today as we  serve the intelligence and defense communities. For that reason, in 2006  our company founders -- themselves both native New Englanders --  chose  the name “Setauket” and included the code “729” in our logo as an  enduring reminder of that legacy.
