History
Asharoken incorporated as a village in 1925, so as to have a greater ability to control local beaches and roadways through home rule.
The Village of Asharoken is named after Chief Asharoken, head of the Matinecock Native American tribe which inhabited the area prior to English settlements. Chief Asharoken sold the land that is now Asharoken, Eatons Neck, and Northport to European settlers in 1656.
