24/7 Biohazard and Crime Scene Cleanup in North Haven, NY

North Haven is an incorporated village in the Town of Southampton in Suffolk County, occupying a roughly 2.65-square-mile peninsula on the South Fork of Long Island just north of Sag Harbor.

North Haven was first settled by Europeans in 1665, when Southampton freeholders bought the peninsula, then called Hog Neck, from the Manhanset people on October 3 of that year.

By 1680 Hog Neck had been divided into 47 lots handed out by lottery, and the Payne family, which arrived in the early 1700s, produced two well-known whaling captains over its 250 years in North Haven.

Residents renamed Hog Neck to North Haven in 1842 because they thought the old name sounded offensive.

North Haven did not incorporate as a village until 1931, more than 260 years after it was first settled.

In the late 1800s North Haven became a vacation spot, and actors built homes on the former Lewis Corwin farm in what became known as Actors' Colony, where Algonquin Hotel owner Frank Case entertained Ethel Barrymore, Mary Pickford, and Douglas Fairbanks Jr.

North Haven's population jumped 39.5% between 2010 and 2020, reaching 1,162 at the 2020 census after sitting below 900 for most of its history.

At the 2000 census North Haven had only 337 households but 578 housing units, a gap that reflects how many of its homes are seasonal or second homes.

North Haven students attend schools in the Sag Harbor Union Free School District.

Notable North Haven residents have included actress Julie Andrews, actor Richard Gere, and journalist Carl Bernstein.
