          "From 1760 to 1850 Sag Harbor was, by its own account, a thriving whaling port that at its height had more tons of square-rigged shipping engaged in commerce than New York City.[4] It became a federal port of entry under an act of Congress passed July 31, 1789 — one day, the Village says, before New York City received the same designation.[3] The whaling trade declined after about 1850 with the discovery of gold in California and petroleum in Pennsylvania; residents turned to other industry, including a brass foundry, hat factories, watch making, and later the Bulova Watchcase Factory, E.W. Bliss Torpedo Company, Agawam Aircraft Products and Grumman Aerospace, with Bulova's 1981 departure among the last of that era.[4]",
          "The Village Trustees moved to incorporate Sag Harbor in January 1846, forming a drafting committee on January 5 and passing a resolution on January 12; the incorporating act followed on March 26, 1846, as Chapter 42 of the Laws of 1846.[2] Sag Harbor also claims two other governmental firsts: gaslights in December 1859, making it, in its own telling, the first village east of Brooklyn to have them, and the first fire department in New York State, established by Chapter 58 of the Laws of 1803.[6][7]"

          "Because the incorporated Village overlaps the Towns of Southampton and East Hampton, it maintains its own local government rather than relying solely on either town's police or court. The Village Code (eCode360 client SA0314) includes a dedicated Chapter 235, \"Streets and Sidewalks\" (§235-1 to §235-23) — the local law under which claims over defective Village streets and sidewalks would be governed — and a lengthy Chapter A310, \"Police Department Rules and Regulations\" (§A310-1 to §A310-196), governing the Village's own police force.[11]"
