Contents

The Village of Head of the Harbor is located entirely within the Town of Smithtown. Despite this, the Northern part of the village is part of the Three Village Central School District in the Town of Brookhaven. On the border with Stony Brook Village, Head of the Harbor hosts the Avalon Nature Preserve; a privately owned memorial park of 216 acres [4] consisting of trails and landmarks. Due to proximity, common, shared landmark, and heavy forestation, the North is seen as an extension of Stony Brook itself. It's this part of the village where Robert Mercer lives [5] , owing to Renaissance Technologies' headquarters in Three Village.
