Northport, New York

Common card · No. 297177

Northport is a village located within the Town of Huntington in Suffolk County, on the North Shore of Long Island, New York, United States. The population was 7,347 at the time of the 2020 census. Initially designated Great Cow Harbour by 17th-century English colonists, the area was officially renamed Northport in 1837. In 1894, in an effort to localize governance, the community was incorporated as a village. The Incorporated Village of Northport is known for its Victorian-era village center, still bearing trolley rails from a long-discontinued streetcar line which transported village residents to the Long Island Rail Road station in East Northport. The village Main Street runs from the Village Green along the harborfront to the former hamlet of Vernon Valley, which has since been absorbed by the neighboring hamlet of East Northport.
