State NEW YORK EAST HAMPTON (regional info) EAST HAMPTON POINT INN East Hampton is a town located in southeastern Suffolk County, New York and is the easternmost town on the South Shore of Long Island. As of the United States 2000 Census, the CDP had a total population of 19,719. The town includes the village of East Hampton, as well as four official hamlets of Montauk, Amagansett, Wainscott and Springs. It is home to the largest privately owned island in the United States and largest fishing fleet in the State of New York. Natural attributes of the town (marked by eight state parks and numerous county, town, municipal and Nature Conservancy areas) have contributed to its reputation as a "Playground of the Rich" where seemingly anybody with major money in the New York City has an estate in the town. It is the eastern most point in the State of New York and surrounded by water on three sides. Two First Ladies spent their childhoods in the town and President Clinton spent his summer vacations there. Jackson Pollock created his most famous paintings in the town. Its strategic location on the entrance to Long Island Sound and New York City shipping channels has resulted in military incidents in the town from the 1600s to World War II. read full wikipedia reference about East Hampton, New York OTHER POPULAR DESTINATIONS IN NEW YORKAlbany Amherst Auburn Batavia Binghamton Buffalo Chautauqua Cheektowaga Chestertown Corning Diamond Point East Hampton Elmira Greenport Greenville Hicksville Horseheads Hyde Park Ithaca Jamaica Lake George Lake Luzerne Lake Placid Latham Liverpool Middletown Newburgh New York City Niagara Falls North Creek Painted Post Plattsburgh Poughkeepsie Queens Rhinebeck Rochester Saratoga Springs Schenectady Schroon Lake Shelter Island Skaneateles Southampton Syracuse Tarrytown Utica Warrensburg Warwick Watertown Westfield Westhampton Westport White Plains Williamsville Wilmington Windham Woodstock |
