History

In 1927, the bulk of Eatons Neck consisting of what is today known as the Morgan Estate and Two-Acre Zone was subdivided and sold by the heirs of Cornelius H. DeLamater. The Eaton Harbors Corporation was created to hold title to, and maintain, all the private beaches and roads on the former estate.[3]

Education

Historically, Eatons Neck had its own school district, which consisted of a single schoolhouse for all grades. However, in 1922, the school district consolidated with the neighboring towns[7].

As a result Eatons Neck is located entirely within the boundaries of (and is thus served by) the Northport-East Northport Union Free School District.[8] As such, all children who reside within the hamlet and attend public schools go to Northport-East Northport's schools.[8]
