Community Profile
Northport is a dynamic, active community of approximately 39,000 residents
boasting a pleasant blending of quiet suburban living with the easy
availability of the nation's largest city. Originally called "Great Cow
Harbor", a reference
to the cows pastured at the harbor's mouth, the village adopted the official
name of Northport in 1837 and today still remains a lively, attractive, water-oriented
village. An attractive waterside park now lines the harbor front with Main Street
retaining much of the charm of the 19th century. The community consists of six
elementary schools, two middle schools and one high school with a student
enrollment of approximately 6,511.
