Southold is a town in the northeastern tip of Suffolk County, settled in 1640 by English Puritans from New Haven, Connecticut who were looking to establish the town as a theocracy. The Puritans bought the land from the Corchaug of the Lenape tribe and did not allow other churches to operate in Southold. Reverend John Youngs and Peter Hallock led the families of Barnabas Horton, John Budd, John Conklin, William Wells, John Tuthill, Thomas Mapes, Richard Terry, Matthias Corwin, Robert Akerly, Zachariah Corey and Isaac Arnold. New Haven supervised Southold until 1662 and it was under the Connecticut Colony until 1674.

Rev. Joshua Hobart was installed as Southold’s second minister in 1674 after New York went under English rule. Rev. Joshua Hobart was the brother of Josiah Hobart, one of Southold’s earliest settlers and an initial trustee of East Hampton, Long Island. Rev. Joshua Hobart was the founding minister of Old Ship Church, the nation’s oldest church still in continuous use.

The name Southold is believed to come from the misspelling of Southwold, a coastal town in England’s Suffolk County. In 1650 the population of Southold was about 180 and grew to 880 by 1698. This population increase was due, in part, to the extension of the Long Island Rail Road to Southold.

Today Southold remains a commuter town with a strong community. Places of interest include the Arshamomaque Pond, Fort Corchaug, Dam Pond, East End Lighthouses and Southold’s many Hamlets. The islands of Southold are Fishers Island, Great Gull Island, Little Gull Island, Plum Island and Robins Island. A few geographic points of interest include a peninsula into Little Peconic Bay called Great Hog Neck and a bay in the eastern part of the town called Orient Harbor.
