Long Island North Shore Heritage Area

Long Island's North Shore has long been recognized as one of the nation's most unusual waterfront regions. The geological, natural, scenic, and historic features associated with this area, plus its immediate proximity to the world's greatest metropolis make it one of New York State's most vital environmental and economic resources. In recognition of this fact, the Long Island North Shore Heritage Area was designated as a New York State Heritage Area on July 14, 1998. The North Shore Heritage Area joins a system of 17 other Heritage Areas around the state and is the first one on Long Island.
