Southampton Yard Sales
Founded in 1640 by settlers from Lynn, Massachusetts, the Town of Southampton covers a wide stretch of the South Fork bounded by the Atlantic Ocean to the south, Peconic Bay to the north, the Town of East Hampton to the east, and the Town of Brookhaven to the west. It contains seven incorporated villages, including Southampton, Sagaponack, and Westhampton Beach, along with sixteen unincorporated hamlets such as Bridgehampton, Water Mill, and Hampton Bays.
About Southampton
Southampton's land was acquired from the Shinnecock Indian Nation in the founding agreement, and the Shinnecock Reservation remains within the town today. The Village of Southampton holds the most concentrated historic district, with the gallery and shopping blocks of Jobs Lane and Main Street feeding into the estate lanes of Gin Lane and South Main Street. The 11962 ZIP code covering Sagaponack was identified in 2016 as the most expensive in the United States by median home price. Both the year-round population centered in places like Hampton Bays and the seasonal estate stock further east contribute to a long calendar of yard, tag, and estate sales across the town.
