Westhampton Beach Historical Society

In the early 1700’s a small village formed at the head of the Beaver Dam Creek. Eventually a church and school would be built on the land adjoining the current Westhampton Cemetery. Once known as Beaver Dam Community, this hamlet would become known as Westhampton. Using our GIS (Geographic Information System) tour viewers can visit 8 gravesites of former community members who made important contributions to our local community. The link below will take you to a map where you can choose a gravesite number which includes a historical and biographical narrative plus a slideshow of related images. http://arcg.is/5W0DP
