The East Hampton Town Trustees in Amagansett, NY were established by King James II of England in 1686 through the Dongan Patent, making it one of the earliest governing bodies in America. Today, this autonomous board manages public lands, regulates moorings and docks in the harbors, and oversees activities such as dredging the harbor and monitoring shellfish and eelgrass.
Comprised of nine elected trustees, this body plays a crucial role in preserving the natural environment of the area, including the ocean beaches from Wainscott to Hither Hills State Park in Montauk, as well as certain small roads and bottom lands. Meetings are held twice a month at the East Hampton Town Hall and at their office on Bluff Road, where the trustee clerk and assistant clerk work diligently to carry out their responsibilities.
