History

The area of marsh along the coast was occupied by a band of Lenape, known as the Matinecock, a name associated with the place.

The Matinecock sold the area in 1660 to Richard Latting and his son, Josiah Latting. The Lattings sold marsh reeds for use in thatched-roof houses.[2] The same family later established the hamlet of Lattingtown at Marlborough, Ulster County, New York, north of Manhattan.[3]

The 1986 film The Money Pit was partially filmed in Lattingtown.
