Back
in 1682, when John Roe built his home at the edge of the
harbor, in the area once known as "Drowned
Meadow", he probably never imagined that it
would grow from these humble beginnings. |

In 1797, at his boatyard in "the meadow" he built a 40-ton sloop, thus beginning Port Jefferson's long history of shipbuilding. This was quickly followed by additional projects, including the construction of wharfs and marine railways. In 1835, with its increasing commerce and growing population, Jeffer-sonian democrats renamed the meadow Port Jefferson. |
| In 1852, Port Jefferson was officially designated as a port of entry. This designation prompted dredging of the harbor and the establishment of a channel from the mouth to the foot of the harbor. During these exciting years, many of the area's founding families built ships which traveled to the Orient, South America, Europe and the South Pacific. Port Jefferson incorporated in 1963, and this enabled further improvement of its infrastructure. |

Being blessed with beautiful beaches, a deep water harbor, sheltered
anchorages, and well-appointed marinas, the village now had a vehicle for protecting its abundant resources as well
as improving its amenities. Port Jefferson became a beautiful playground, offering a quality of life which
continues to lure new residents, businesses, professionals and visitors. In 2000, Islander Boat Center realized the relationship that Port Jefferson has with the sea. It is for this reason that we decided to create our newest facility in this historic town. Located just ¼ mile west of the Bridgeport-Port Jefferson Steamboat Company, Islander Boat Center is a tri-level building, displaying boats from all four of our manufacturers. |
