The North Fork is a term used to describe the 11 small towns and villages located on Long Island’s East End – this area is surrounded by the Peconic Bay and the Long Island Sound. The North Fork is approximately 80 miles east of Manhattan and encompasses Aquebogue, Jamesport, Laurel, Mattituck, New Suffolk, Cutchogue, Peconic, Southold, Greenport, East Marion, and Orient. How do you get to the North Fork? photos - joanne hill The North Fork can be reached in a variety of ways: • By car or bus — from the west via Long Island Expressway • By train — from the west via Long Island Rail Road • By ferry — from Connecticut via Cross Sound Ferry or Port Jeff Ferry Once out to the North Fork, there are two main roadways when driving through from points west — and both routes give access to beautiful vineyards and flourishing farm stands. Drive Route 48 (Sound Ave.) for a scenic path that bypasses the village centers and offers a dual-lane highway. Alternatively, Route 25 (Main Rd.) is a great route to experience the towns that encompass the North Fork. Most village centers are located off this roadway.

By Chris Baiz The names of the North Fork’s towns have evolved through many turns from its earliest native American proprietors’ names, to the early Anglo-European designations, to changes mandated by the Post Office Department of the United States. A brief outline as to how the villages and hamlets of the North Fork came to their present day designations is set forth. Even the coming of the railroad, connecting eastern Long Island New England’s southern tier - with New York City’s western development, influenced present day names of the North Fork. In keeping with the English usage of that time, “village” refers to a community of people and their homesteads which had a church spire, or two, within it. More than just a place of worship, it was a place of governance and community. “Hamlet” was reserved for a very small village, just a cluster of a few houses without a church [spire], which in turn was usually associated with a “village” up the road. more on pages 21, 25, 36, 39, 40, 48 joanne hill page 13 guide to the north fork Dining dining joanne hill Dining guide to the north fork page 14 Lucharitos (631) 477-6666, 119 Main Street, Greenport Modern Snack Bar (631) 722-3655, Route 25, Aquebogue Noah’s (631) 477-6720, 136 Front Street, Greenport Old Mill Inn (631) 298-8080, 5775 West mill Rd., Mattituck Orient by the Sea (631) 323-2424, Main Rd., Orient Porto Bello Restaurant (631) 477-1515, 1410 Manhansett Avenue, Greenport Soundview Restaurant (631) 477-0666, Rte. 48, Southold Southold Fish Market (631) 765-3200, 61850 Main Road, Southold • • lunch dinner • lunch dinner • lunch dinner • breakfast lunch dinner • lunch dinner in season • • • • • • • 120 • 90 • 30 • • 120 • 60 • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • 130 • • • • • • • • • 100 • • • • • • • • • • 109 • lunch dinner • • • • • • • • • • 250 • takeout • • • • • Cliff’s Elbow Room Cliff’s Elbow Room!

New Suffolk (New Suffolk) Unique to the North Fork, New Suffolk is one of the first hamlets on Long Island to be laid out in block plan, obviously a later thought in street layout. This plan allowed every street to terminate at the water’s edge as New Suffolk is surrounded by water on three sides. The name most likely comes from the county in England that Southwold was within and which the 1640 settlers of Southold gave to the County of Suffolk, Long Island. As early as 1820, New Suffolk was the western terminus on the Peconic Bays for the steamers making the run to New York City with intervening stops at Southold, Greenport, and Orient. A small brick yard and a large oyster company were other major economies leading to the permanence of New Suffolk. In 1900, the Holland Submarine Company opened a plant at New Suffolk to fit out and test their first submarine vessels. These vessels were built in Elizabeth, New Jersey. The first successful underwater boats were developed here at New Suffolk, until the plant was moved to Groton, Connecticut in 1905.

Corchaug (Cutchogue) Cutchogue is situated in the widest land mass between Long Island Sound and the Peconic Bays east of Mattituck Inlet. Its Native American name was Corchaug which translated roughly to “principal place”. Cutchogue, along with today’s Mattituck and Orient, were the first new lands designated for settlement. This expansion was needed by 1661, as the second generation of the new settlers needed their own space to establish their agrarian livelihoods. The broad extent of the field and woodlands in Corchaug offered great appeal for agricultural expansion. Cutchogue’s most important architectural antiquity is The Old House. Originally built in Southold in 1649 by John Budd one of the 1640 settlers, he gave the medieval style colonial house to his newly wed daughter Anna and Benjamin Horton. The house was dismantled in Southold and moved to and reassembled in Cutchogue in 1661. This was a very common practice, even into the early twentieth century, as it was more economical to move a house than build one anew. Cutchogue Village proper still remains quite compact with farm fields stretching out the back doors of many Main Road houses and obligatory church steeples reaching for the sky. Its farm lands, at least half of all the farming acreage in the Town, still keeps it the North Fork’s principal place for agriculture. joanne hill Sweet Auburn Bed & Breakfast -circa 1880- 600 Front Street Greenport, NY 11944 (631) 477-1963 25500 Main Road, Orient, 11957 631-323-2300 orientinn@earthlink.net www.orientinn-ny.com A Walk in the Woods B & B Wells House B & B 9680 North Bayview Rd, Southold, NY 11971 (631) 765-9197 www.walkinthewoodsbnb.com www.wellshousebnb.com 631.477.0674 • 530 Main St, Greenport A Gem in the heart of the historic village of Greenport page 25 guide to the north fork Lodging local marinas.

Whether you’re freshwater fishing in the ponds and lakes, saltwater fishing from the surf, or going out on one of the North Fork’s many charter and party boats, you will not be disappointed in the North Fork fishing experience. Fishing on the North Fork begins in the Spring, heats up in Summer and Fall, and slows down in the early Winter. Before you set out to do any type of fishing, visit one of our local tackle shops where the knowledgeable staff will set you up with the right equipment and give you tips on where to go. The North Fork has many hidden treasures in the form of freshwater ponds and lakes. Fishing in freshwater can be done from land or kayak, canoe, or rowboat. The smaller size of freshwater catches is enough to satisfy the itch before the saltwater fishing season gets going. June and July offer the unique opportunity to catch fluke in Long Island Sound from the surf. This can be done using small bucktails and teasers tipped with squid or spearing, fishing shallow flat areas to deep drop offs. The best time to catch is either morning or late afternoon during an ebb tide. Party boat fishing is a great way to take the whole family out on the water and catch a variety of local fish. Fluke, porgies, sea bass, bluefish, weakfish, and striped bass are commonly caught on party boats. There are party boats sailing out of Greenport, Orient Point, and Mattituck Inlet. Reservations for party boats are not required but are strongly encouraged in order to ensure your place. Interested in catching some of the East End’s legendary striped bass? With summer comes some of the most exciting fishing offered on the North Fork. Mattituck Inlet and Orient Point are home to many charter boats with experienced captains and crew eager to help you catch that monster striper. These boats personally cater to you and your group providing the bait, tackle, and local knowledge needed to catch a once-in-a-lifetime fish. Blackfish is arguably one of the best eating fish on the North Fork. The season for blackfish arrives right on time in the fall as the weather cools off and the craving for a hearty soup like blackfish chowder begins. Charter and party boats can help you to catch blackfish and many will even provide you with their favorite recipes on how to cook them.

However, it did not start out as such. Peconic, by name, is relatively young in usage for the hamlet’s designation, and probably came into favor during some renaissance to the area’s native American forebearers. Its location and identity came into being by reason of the coming of the railroad in the early 1840s. Each railroad stop was determined to be about one hour’s walking distance, or three miles, from one stop to the next. The location was equidistant from west of Southold and east of Cutchogue. It was in the middle of nowhere, but for a small cottage near the new tracks occupied by an eccentric bachelor – a hermit. Thus, the train stop became known as the Hermitage. Because Hermitage never grew into a village, meaning large enough to have a church spire, it remained a hamlet – in native American, “Peconic”.

Yennicott, Southwold (Southold) Within a dozen years after the Pilgrims’ landing at Plymouth Rock in 1620, Europeans, mostly English, started venturing south from the New Haven Colony across Long Island Sound to a place called Yennicott by native Americans. Throughout the 1630s, adventurous men looked to Long Island’s northeastern peninsula for economic gain through the search for pine pitch and turpentine, mostly in an area called Arshamomaque, east of what is called Mill Creek today. The settlement of the North Fork was a gradual infiltration, not a mass invasion of new settlers. In 1640, a clergyman was sent out under a commission from the Governor of the New Haven Colony and from the leader of the New Haven church to organize this area called the Yennicott plantation, subject to New Haven’s jurisdiction. His name was John Youngs. He was a clergyman and the son of a clergyman, the Rev. Mr. Christopher Youngs, vicar of Southwold, England. The Rev. Mr. John Youngs was given a choice home site on the west side of a lane running up from the head of what is called Town Creek today. The lane became Youngs Avenue, the primary crossroad in the village of Southold. His homestead he called Southwold after his family’s vicarage in England. Southwold soon found favor as Southold, as the latter was preferred by the new settlers to Yennicott. joanne hill Moving? Renovating?

Winter Harbor, Sterling (Greenport) The creek lying just to the eastside of today’s village of Greenport was first known to boatmen as Winter Harbor. It rarely froze over in winter times unlike most of the other creeks of the North Fork. Later the creek, and hence the village, came to be known as Sterling Creek, getting its name from Long Island’s first land patentee in the early 1600s. By the early 1800s, after nearly two centuries from the first arrival of the new settlers, mail came to the villages of the North Fork on horseback from Brooklyn – once a week. The mail bag would be emptied onto a table at each post office where local letters were sorted out and the rest returned to the post carrier’s bag. For every letter received, the addressee paid a shilling in postage. Sterling’s post office was in a school house just west of today’s Moore’s Lane on the Kings Highway (today’s North Road). When the U.S. Post Office Department asked the village to consider another name, as there were other “Sterlings” (but no zip codes), the name Green Hill was first chosen. But at a public meeting called at the homestead of one of the villagers, a Captain John Clark, on June 23, 1831, the name of Greenport was finally adopted. Captain Clark became the new postmaster and conducted postal sorting in the Clark House, a hotel near the village center. As there was yet very little settlement on Long Island west of Riverhead and east of Brooklyn, the Clark House was one of only twenty-four post offices on all of Long Island at that time. PATRICIA C.

Since the first vineyards were planted in 1973, the Long Island wine region has continued to grow, from 17 vineyards in 1996 to 35+ today. There are in excess of 40 licensed wineries currently operating on Long Island, producing 500,000 cases of premium wine from 20 classic vinifera grape varieties. With just 3,000 acres under cultivation, the focus in Long Island is on quality, not quantity. East End viticulturists personally tend their vines throughout the long growing season to yield grapes of the highest quality. Our local winemakers are true artisans, carefully crafting wines that meet exacting standards for structure and balance. With this approach, it’s no surprise that Long Island wines receive high praise from some of the wine industry’s best known critics. In 2006 the region received very favorable reviews in The Wine Spectator, The New York Times and, for the first time, in a comprehensive report in Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate. The Wine Advocate review offered objective confirmation of what many on the East End have long believed: that the region is producing wines of a quality “deserving of respect and attention worldwide.” Under the Wine Advocate’s 100-point rating system, the region’s scores ranged from “Very Good” (85 – 89) to “Outstanding” (90 – 95). This growing media coverage is reinforced by the awards won by Long Island wineries in many competitions held around the country. Closer to home, the region’s wines consistently stand out at the annual New York Wine and Food Classic competition, capturing over 111 awards in 2008, including Best Red, Best Chardonnay, Best Savignon Blanc, Best Semisweet Reisling and Best Unifera Red Blend. joanne hill Wineries guide to the north fork page 46 wineries wineries north fork Wine Sales Bus Tour Parking Parking Picnic Area Patio • • • • • Call ahead • • • • • • • • • • By appt. • • • • • • • 85 • Call ahead • Major Holidays • • 17 • • • Nov-April • 5 • • Major Holiday • • 62 • Christmas Thankgiv New Year Easter • • 200 • (631) 727-9513 3225 Sound Avenue, Riverhead Tuesdays • • Palmer Vinyeards Christmas Thankgiv New Year Easter • • 100 • By appt. • Sat. by appointment in season • • 60 • • • JanuaryApril • • Baiting Hollow Vineyard (631) 369-0100 2114 Sound Avenue, Baiting Hollow Harbes Family Vineyards (631) 298-0700 715 Sound Ave., Mattituck Kontokosta (631) 477-6977 825 North Road, Greenport Macari Vineyards and Winery (631) 298-0100 • (631) 734-7070 150 Bergen Ave., Mattituck 24385 Main Rd, Cutchogue North Fork Tasting Room (631) 722-WINE 5120 Sound Avenue, Rte. 48, Riverhead Raphael (631) 765-1100 39390 Main Rd., Rte. 25, Peconic Roanoke Love Lane Tasting Room (631) 298-7677 165 Love Lane, Mattituck Roanoke Vineyard Tasting Room (631) 727-4161 3543 Sound Avenue, Riverhead Sannino Bella Vita Vineyard (631) 734-8282 1375 Peconic Lane, Peconic Shinn Estate Vineyard (631) 804-0367 2000 Oregon Rd., Mattituck Sparkling Pointe (631) 765-0200 39750 County Rd 48, Southold None • • Open 7 days July 4 - Labor Day Open ThursSun May June Sept Oct Nov • • Christmas Thankgiving • • Major Holidays • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • • Small parties • • • • • • 3 Cabernet Franc, 3 Parties • (631) 765-3810 1375 Peconic Lane, Peconic • • By appt. • • • • • Limos by reservation only • Call ahead • • • • • By appt.

Mattituck (Mattituck) Believed to mean “the great creek” from native America, Mattituck is at the head of the North Fork’s only harbor opening onto Long Island Sound from Port Jefferson – some thirty miles to the west – to Orient – some twenty miles to the east. It is the one village or hamlet in the Town of Southold which retains its native American name, “Great Creek”, which it is as it nearly divides the North Fork in half reaching to within five hundred yards of head waters to the Peconic Bay to the south. Like Cutchogue and Orient, Mattituck was needed for second generation expansion of the new settlers in 1662, more than two decades after the first settlement at Southold. Today, Mattituck is the second largest village proper on the North Fork, behind Greenport, a half-day’s walk to the east. While the greater part of the land finds its usefulness still in agriculture, like so much of the rest of the North Fork, the shorelines have been populated with summertime and year-round housing as leisure time has expanded, especially since the end of WWII. joanne hill Wineries guide to the north fork page 48 page 49 guide to the north fork Wineries North Fork V I N E YA R D S O F T H E wineries Calendar of Events Listed are just some of the Special Events on the North Fork this Season.
