  • History

Wainscott, situated in the Town of East Hampton within Suffolk County, New York, USA, resides on the South Fork of Long Island. According to the 2010 United States Census, the population of the census-designated place (CDP) was 650. The United States Census Bureau delineated a CDP for the 2000 census, encompassing an area roughly corresponding to the same region, for statistical purposes.

Background and history

Wainscott, a hamlet in the Town of East Hampton, Suffolk County, New York, USA, derived its name from Wainscott, Kent, a village situated north of Maidstone, England. This area was immortalized in Charles Dickens’ “Great Expectations” and served as the origin for many of East Hampton’s early settlers.

The historical Wainscott School, established in 1730, held the distinction of being the last public one-room schoolhouse in operation in New York until the construction of an annex in 2008.

Geographically, Wainscott is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean to the south, with the village of Sagaponack to its west and the village of East Hampton to its east. Other neighboring communities include East Hampton North and Northwest Harbor to the northeast, Sag Harbor to the north, and Noyack and Bridgehampton to the west (north of Sagaponack).

Notably, Wainscott faces Georgica Pond to the east, where the exclusive Georgica Association maintains a 100-acre subdivision. One of its renowned properties, Kilkare, built in 1880, gained fame as the beach house featured in the 2004 film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.” Additionally, the industrial park at East Hampton Airport, situated in Wainscott, serves as the filming location for the PBS children’s show “It’s a Big Big World.”

Although the Wainscott railroad station on the Montauk Branch ceased operations in the 1930s, the community remains vibrant. In 2020, Citizens For The Preservation of Wainscott, a non-profit organization, initiated a petition to incorporate the community. One of the petition’s objectives was to oppose a proposal for the South Fork Wind Farm’s 138-kilovolt electricity transmission line to come ashore at Beach Lane, en route to an electrical substation in East Hampton. However, the petition was rejected in 2021 by the East Hampton Town Supervisor, citing a low number of valid signatures.

The terrain is predominantly flat, with residences bordering potato or corn fields that extend toward the dunes and the ocean. In the past, Main Street was adorned with a general store and a post office.

Prior to 1935, Main Street was lined with majestic sycamore trees, but they were all toppled by a hurricane.
