Village of Southampton

Southampton Village is a settlement on the South Fork of Long Island with residential neighborhoods stretching from the oceanfront inland. The area combines houses with open spaces that shape the village's overall character.

The settlement was founded in 1640 by English colonists who arrived from Connecticut. This early establishment made it one of the region's first permanent English communities.

The village has gathered places where history is visible and residents spend time together today. The buildings and local institutions show how people have made their lives here across centuries.

The village sits on the ocean with access to beaches and coastal areas. Those exploring the area should plan to drive, as public transportation options are limited here.

A house built in the 1660s by an early settler still stands in the village and shows how those first residents lived. It remains one of the few surviving homes from that era in the broader region.
