Sag Harbor, a Village of 2 square miles, is rich with history. The earliest inhabitants of this area were the Algonquin Indians. They called this place Weg-wag-onuch which was derived from the Algonquin word ':Weg-quae-and-auke' meaning 'the land or place at the end of the hill'. Sag Harbor, at that time, was made up of hills, streams, meadows and swamps. The neighboring villages called this area Great Meadows.

Sagaponack, south of Sag Harbor, benefited greatly from the convenient location of the 'Great Meadows', with the harbor providing an excellent port from which they could ship their goods. They called the place Sagaponack Harbor or the Harbor of Sagg. Although records indicate that there was no permanent settlement until the late 1730, Southampton Town records first mention Sag Harbor by name in 1709.

East Hampton records, although not calling the place Sag Harbor, recorded that Joseph Stretton was left, by his father, 'a share of the piece of meadow that lies nearest Hog Neck (North Haven) in this town's bounds'. This was in 1698.The first subdivisions of land took place in 1738 and then again in 1745. From this point on, Sag Harbor grew. In January of 1846, at two different meetings, the Trustees discussed the incorporation of the Port of Sag Harbor.

On January 5th, a committee was formed to draft the new Act of Incorporation. On January 12th, the Trustees passed a resolution to take the necessary action to secure the passage of the Act of Incorporation. On March 26th, 1846, by Chapter 42, Laws of 1846, an act was passed incorporating the Port of Sag Harbor as a village.From 1760 - 1850, the Village was a thriving whaling port.

As a seaport, Sag Harbor had come into her own, and was second only to New York City in importance. It was the first Port of Entry in the State of New York being established one day before the city of New York by an act of Congress passed July 31, 1789.
