The Town of East Hampton spans roughly 25 miles of the South Fork, from Wainscott in the west to Montauk Point in the east, and includes the incorporated Village of East Hampton along with the hamlets of Amagansett, Springs, Wainscott, and Montauk. English settlement dates to 1648, and the town shoreline runs about 70 miles along the Atlantic and Block Island Sound.

About East Hampton

The town operates under a dual structure unusual for New York: an elected Town Board handles modern municipal business, while the Trustees of the Freeholders and Commonalty, an office that traces back to the 1686 Dongan Patent, still manage common lands like Georgica Pond. The Village of East Hampton, incorporated in 1920, holds the historic core along Main Street and the mansion corridors of Further Lane and Lily Pond Lane. Wealth concentrated here after the Long Island Rail Road reached the village in 1895, and the residential economy that grew up around those summer estates is the backdrop for most of the town's larger estate sales.
