Long
Island's
Historic
Seaport
Port
Jefferson
is a historic ship-building village nestled at the
far end of the harbor, past the big homes that dot
the high-banked eastern bluff looking down over an
orderly yet varied fleet lying at their moorings.
Our Village is a visitor's dream, and one of the
most picturesque of waterside villages to be found
on
Long Island
.
Few
villages can claim such a broad array of assets as
Port Jefferson, from its waterside location at the
head of a beautiful deep water harbor to its
enviable position as a busy downtown area in the
heart of
Long Island
's prestigious north shore. These natural resources,
combined with the friendly people who live and work
there, make Port Jefferson a truly unique location

| Port
Jefferson is located approximately 56 miles east of
New York City
, in the northern part of central
Suffolk
County
. A stroll down tree-lined streets, where many shops and
restaurants occupy historic buildings, clearly affirms the
village's commitment to maintaining its "small town"
appeal.
From its
beginnings as a waterside home for the Setauket Indians, to
its present-day position as a popular day-trip destination,
Port
Jefferson
has grown and prospered. Throughout this 300-year evolution,
the strength of the village has been, and continues to be, the
sociable people who live in its beautiful homes and who work
in its shops, restaurants, and offices. This "human
asset" combined with the village's unique location, has
inspired much of its industry, from shipbuilding to tourism.
Surrounded by
some of the most beautiful and prestigious homes on Long
Island, and serviced by three major hospitals and a state
university, Port Jefferson has come a long way. Residents
treasure its past and plan carefully for its future.
