History

European Settlement

The original inhabitants of the area now known as Northport were the Matinecocks, one of 13 Native American tribes of Long Island. The Matinecocks called this land "Opcathontyche", which meant "wading place creek".^[1] After Dutch interest a few years earlier, the land was sold by Chief Asharoken, head of the Matinecocks, to three Englishmen in 1656.^[2] This article is about the people indigenous to the United States. ...

Growth, Change, and Shipbuilding

Woodbine Avenue and Northport Harbor, circa 1900

Around the Revolutionary War, a concentration of 31 families began settling around where Main Street and Route 25A now intersect. This settlement became known as Red Hook.^[1] Although most people continued calling it Great Cow Harbor, the village was officially known as Red Hook by the early 19th century.

By 1837 the village finally became known as Northport, although the village was not formally incorporated until 1894.^[3] The reason for this name was never officially documented but coincides with the rapid growth of port-related industries. By 1840 the region had shifted away from its farming roots as shipbuilding became the community's primary industry. Northport's shipbuilding boon lasted a half-century, but waned in the late 1800s as steel-hulled ships began replacing the wooden vessels produced in the village.^[1] Queen Victoria, Queen of the United Kingdom (1837 - 1901) 1837 (MDCCCXXXVII) was a common year starting on Sunday (see link for calendar). ... 1894 (MDCCCXCIV) was a common year starting on Monday (see link for calendar). ...

On April 25, 1868 the Long Island Railroad opened a station within the village of Northport.^[4] This was an essential transportation link for the village, especially for the growing commuter population.

After the old bypassed village station closed in 1899, Northport decided to build a 2½ mile trolley line to take commuters between Main Street and the new Northport station located in Larkfield. The new commuter trolley opened in mid-April of 1902. The trolley would eventually become obsolete with the invention of the automobile and the trolley made its last scheduled commuter run on August 19, 1924.^[6] The tracks remain a defining feature of Main Street to this day.

Modern Northport

After nearly a century of heavy commercial use, the waterfront which had supported the community for generations, had fallen into decay by the 1920s. The village decided to purchase the land along the harbor and created Northport Memorial Park in 1932.^[1] The 1920s is a decade that is sometimes referred to as the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties, usually applied to America. ...

• Steer’s Pit, known simply as "The Pit" to locals, is a large land depression carved into the cliffs adjacent to Northport Harbor, north of James Street, West of Ocean Avenue, and just south of the enormous LIPA smokestacks. This unusual geographic feature is the result of sand mining operations by the Steers and Steers Company. Mining began in 1923 and ceased in the 1950s.^[7] The area has since been utilized for home and condo developments. The mined sand was shipped by barge to New York City where, mixed with Portland cement and rock aggregate, it became the sidewalks of New York.
