Welcome to Bridgehampton
Background
Bridgehampton is in the town of Southampton. Considered by many to be the center of the Hamptons universe. Shortly after the founding of Southampton in 1640, settlers began to move east to the area known by the Shinnecock Indians as Sagaponack and Mecox. Known for beautiful farmland and spectacular beaches. It’s a true gem.
Bridgehampton became world famous as the home of the horse show known as the Hampton Classic. It is a must-see event held every summer just north of town.
Fun Fact
In 1953 the Bridgehampton raceway was founded. It became a road racing course that figured prominently in American automobile racing for decades but no longer exists today (unfortunately).
