The Incorporated Village of Port Jefferson is a historical village located in the town of Brookhaven. Prior to becoming a popular tourist spot, the Village was the largest shipbuilding center in Suffolk County during the 19th century. P.T. Barnum, famous circus owner, used to own a large tract of land within the Village. He originally intended to make Port Jefferson the home base for his circus, but residents put a stop to his plan. There are still some links to Barnum scattered around the Village, and (though privately owned at this time) his home still stands.
Port Jefferson was incorporated in 1963. Many historical buildings are included in the town’s historic district and are included on the National Register of Historic Places. The Bayles Shipyard and First National Bank of Port Jefferson building are also listed. Since its incorporation, Port Jefferson has grown into a place where good food, friendly people and waterfront views can be found.

By foot
The Village is home to mostly foot traffic. To really see the unique shops and restaurants its best to ditch the car for the day and get out and walk around. But be aware in the spring and summer the village is full of visitors due to the warm weather, so it makes parking very limited. It’s best to arrive earlier in the day to beat the traffic.
