Welcome to Port Washington

Port Washington, NY, is a vibrant waterfront community located on the North Shore of Long Island, in the Town of North Hempstead. Originally inhabited by the Matinecock Native American tribe, the area was settled by Europeans in the early 17th century. Port Washington's development was driven by its strategic location along the Long Island Sound, which made it an important center for shipping, shipbuilding, and industry. By the 19th century, it became a thriving commercial port, with its waterfront bustling with activity from steamships, ferries, and other vessels. The construction of the Long Island Rail Road in the 1890s further fueled the town's growth, making it a popular suburban destination for commuters working in New York City.
 
Today, Port Washington is a blend of historic charm and modern conveniences. It is known for its picturesque waterfront, beautiful parks, and vibrant downtown area, which features shops, restaurants, and cultural attractions. The town’s rich maritime history is still visible in landmarks like the Port Washington Yacht Club and the Sands-Willets House, a historic site. The community is renowned for its family-friendly atmosphere and easy access to the city via the LIRR, making it a sought-after location for families and professionals alike. With its unique blend of suburban tranquility and proximity to Manhattan, Port Washington remains one of Long Island's most desirable places to live.
