History
During the American Revolution it was the site of two conflicts, including the Meigs Raid, in which Americans burned Sag Harbor and captured 90 British soldiers, and an incident in which Isaac Van Scoy killed a British soldier with a pitchfork. The British were to conduct another raid during the War of 1812. During the Great Hurricane of 1938, sand all but enclosed the harbor at its mouth at the Cedar Point Lighthouse, leaving only a narrow channel into Gardiners Bay. In January 2007, Northwest Landing made national news in efforts to save several common dolphins that had swum up the creek.
