Southampton Village
Southampton
The oldest village in the Hamptons, founded in 1640, with boutiques, galleries and historic houses lining its main street.
Southampton Village was founded in 1640 and is one of the earliest English colonial settlements in New York State, as well as the Hamptons' most established wealthy summer resort. Along Main Street and Job's Lane are high-end boutiques, galleries, cafés and the Southampton Arts Center, while side streets are lined with colonial-era wooden houses and mansions with neatly trimmed hedges. The Southampton History Museum (Rogers Mansion) traces the village's development. From New York City, the Long Island Rail Road or the Hampton Jitney bus takes about 2–2.5 hours, and it is one of the main bases for exploring the South Fork.
