Sag Harbor Yard Sales
An incorporated village split between the towns of Southampton and East Hampton along Division Street, Sag Harbor sits on the north side of the South Fork facing Shelter Island. The village was incorporated in 1846, with the entire business district listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Sag Harbor Village District.
About Sag Harbor
By 1789 Sag Harbor was reported to carry more tonnage of square-rigged commercial vessels than the port of New York, and through the first half of the 1800s it ranked among the major American whaling ports. The industry collapsed after 1847 and the village turned to other manufacturing, including the Bulova watchcase factory at the corner of Division and Church streets, which operated until 1981 and has since been redeveloped into residential lofts. The dense nineteenth-century street grid behind Main Street, the older Eastville neighborhood, and the residential blocks running up Jermain Avenue form the core of the year-round village. That older housing stock is where most of the village's estate sales come out of.
