“The East Hampton Fire District was formally recognized 125 years ago by the Board of Supervisors of Suffolk County on June 21, 1899. In researching the Fire Department’s history, Gary Zay discovered that a vote was held in July 1899 at Clinton Hall–as Clinton Academy was then known–to elect three fire commissioners and approve an $1,800 appropriation to fund the Fire Department.”

Wheelock, a part-time resident of East Hampton who avidly collected artifacts documenting the region’s early American history. His son donated it and many other artifacts to the East Hampton Historical Society in 1977.”
