Greenport is a village in New York's Suffolk County, on the North Fork of Long Island.

Greenport was once a whaling and ship building village, and since 1844, has been the eastern terminal station on the north fork for the Long Island Rail Road.

Restaurants on the east end, including Claudio's in Greenport, served the illegal booze.

In 2005, trustees established a local chapter parapolice organization of volunteer vigilantes, Guardian Angels, to patrol the village.

The village is also the home of the East End Seaport Museum & Marine Foundation, which hosts the annual Maritime Festival each September.

Most of the tourism stems from maritime activities, as well as proximity to the more than 40 vineyards on the East End of Long Island.

The Greenport Union Free School District provides public education for all of the village.

In 1832, a larger schoolhouse was built on Front Street and Greenport students transferred to the new location.

In 1879, the first kindergarten was established and the old schoolhouse was moved from the North Road to 4th Avenue and South Street (now the location of the Greenport Fire Department).

The building is now the Village's historic interpretive center and a venue for community meetings and events.

Greenport station is the eastern terminus of the Long Island Rail Road's Main Line, where a shuttle service to Ronkonkoma with stops in other North Fork towns is available.

It is also served by Suffolk County Transit's S92 bus route, which runs from Orient Point Ferry Terminal to East Hampton via Riverhead.
