As of the 2010 census, the population was 1,721. History The village of Westhampton Beach was incorporated in 1928. In 1938, almost all summer homes on its barrier beach were obliterated by a hurricane resulting in twenty-nine local deaths. Like most of the shoreline of southern Long Island, the beach at Westhampton Beach was eroding shoreward. This became a political issue in the 1960s.

During the late 1970s and through t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
