Early History: The Matinecock Indians were one of the thirteen original Native American tribes of Long Island. They were the original inhabitants of the areas now known as Asharoken and Northport. The Matinecocks called this land "Opcathontyche", meaning "wading place creek". Though Dutch colonists were the first to show interest, the lands were eventually sold to three Englishmen in 1656 by Chief Asharoken, head of the Matinecocks.

Modern Beginnings: Around the turn of the Twentieth Century, William Codling, a Northport lawyer and one of the largest landowners in the county, began to market a development he called Asharoken Beach. Codling himself actually lived in the model house. By 1915, Asharoken Beach had developed into a summer resort for upperclass families. In 1925, in order to increase control over roads and beaches, Asharoken property owners formed an incorporated village.
