 | | During the Revolutionary War, Sag Harbor was occupied by the British, and while no great military operation took place, there was much havoc and misery in the area. |
 | | In 1789, Sag Harbor was named the official port of entry for the State of New York, and within a few months Henry Packer Dering was named Collector of the Port, with his home at the Custom House. |
 | | However, economic growth was provided by the Fahys Watch factory, and when the Long Island Railroad extended its service to Sag Harbor in 1870, families moved to industrial Sag Harbor from western Long Island, New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut with other business firms locating here as time went by. |
