[edit] History
Southampton was the second English settlement in modern New York, after Southold (CDP), New York, though this is partially due to a historical technicality: the territory of New Netherlands was still owned by the Dutch at the time, but Southampton lay in a part of Long Island that was part of Connecticut at the time and later ceded in a legal dispute. The Village of Southampton was incorporated in 1894 and is in the Town of Southampton.
