About EHC
Established as a business corporation in 1927 with 34 shareholders, the Eaton Harbors Corporation (EHC) has grown to over 180 properties. Our residents and neighbors include members of long-term, multi-generational families, young families just starting out and other residents drawn to the community by the peace, beauty, security and privacy of the neighborhood.
The Corporation includes a private beach, wetland, park and two private roads that are managed and maintained by an annually elected board of directors. Based on a shareholder-approved budget, Corporation activities are funded by an annual assessment.
Eaton’s Neck is a peninsula on the North Shore of Long Island surrounded by the waters of Long Island Sound, Duck Island Harbor and Huntington and Northport Bays.
The Corporation shares “The Neck” with the Property Owners of Eatons Neck Beach (POENB), the Village of Asharoken, a private estate previously owned by Henry Sturgis Morgan, the Eaton’s Neck Fire Department (ENFD) and a US Coast Guard Station and Lighthouse. On the western end of Eaton’s Neck is Hobart Beach/Sarah H. Ruppert Water Bird Park Preserve, a public beach and bird sanctuary owned and maintained by the Town of Huntington.
Although Europeans have been present on Eaton’s Neck since the 1600’s, the greatest growth occurred in the 20th century; especially after World War II. Many families were drawn to the area by its natural beauty, proximity to the water, large building lots, and a lack of retail establishments.
