Fact text

  • Northport was originally called 'Great Cow Harbour' because early settlers literally grazed cattle around the harbor, a name that stuck for nearly 200 years.
  • The village's Main Street still has visible trolley rails embedded in it from a streetcar line that last ran in 1924.
  • Sand mined from Northport's cliffs was shipped to New York City and became the actual sidewalks of Manhattan.
  • A nostalgic horse-driven trolley on rubber tires revived the old trolley route in the 1970s and 80s, same rails, very different horsepower.
  • Every September, Northport celebrates its bovine origins with 'Cow Harbor Day,' complete with the Great Cow Harbor 10K race.
