Northport is home to a beautiful waterfront community with access to a variety of beaches and marine facilities. At the heart of this village lies an ever-growing cherry industry, whose origins stretch back to the mid-nineteenth century, when Northport’s founder and pioneer Reverend George Smith set up the first cherry farm on his very own property. Indebted to this tradition and to its stunning natural vistas, Northport has been at the forefront of developing sustainable “green” energy sources, having recently installed wind turbines, a rain garden, and a variety of efficient recycling sites.
