ADT-Monitored Home Security Service in Northport, NY

Northport is a historic maritime village upon the northern shore of Long Island in Suffolk County, New York, United States. Initially designated Great Cow Harbour by 17th-century English colonists, the Place was officially renamed Northport in 1837. In 1894, in an effort to localize governance, the community was incorporated as a village.

Northport is known for its Victorian grow old village center, still bearing trolley rails from a long past discontinued streetcar origin which would transport village residents to the Long Island Rail Road station in East Northport. The village Main Street runs from the Village Green along the harbor-front to the former hamlet of Vernon Valley, which has in the past been subsumed by the against community of East Northport. As of 2010, the village has a population of nearly 7,401 and is served by the Northport-East Northport School District.

The indigenous inhabitants of the area now known as Northport were the Matinecocks, one of 13 Native American tribes of Long Island. The Matinecocks called this land Opcathontyche, which meant “wading place creek”. After Dutch incorporation a few years earlier, the home was sold by Chief Asharoken, head of the Matinecocks, to three Englishmen in 1656.
