Southampton is one of the premier vacation and second-home destinations in the region, and the town’s primary economic development engine is its resort economy.
Southampton attracts year-round and second-home residents that tend to be well-educated, with a sophisticated appreciation of historic and scenic preservation as well as the arts.
Southampton’s primary advantage in attracting film industry projects is therefore the local presence of people in the industry, and secondarily the ready availability of facilities, such as caterers and motels that may cater to production crews, especially in the off- and shoulder seasons.

 Long Island History: Southampton
Southampton was arguably the first English settlement in what would become New York State -- with the exception of Gardiners Island -- though the ``first town'' distinction also is claimed by Southold.
Southampton began with a small group of families from Lynn, Mass., who landed in June, 1640, at Conscience Point in what is today North Sea.
The first boatload of Southampton settlers, said to be eight men, a woman and a boy, landed at North Sea on Little Peconic Bay.

As the opening act of the exhibition "A Museum Looks at Itself: Mapping Past and Present at the Parrish Art Museum, 1897-1992," which was billed as an attempt to examine the museum itself as a historical artifact, this reorientation was both dramatic and highly instructive.
Of course, Southampton, Long Island, is to the provinces what beluga is to fish roe, so it is not altogether surprising that an innovative show was organized there.
What is surprising at any museum (or at any institution, for that matter) is the capacity for self-reflection, the willingness to think about the relation of the past to the present and future.
