About Us:

The Village of Muttontown was incorporated August 31, 1931. It is a village of Magestic Hills and Estates. Two former estates of New York City families are now known as The Muttontown Golf and Country Club and The Woodcrest Club.

"Muttontown", the name, derives from early use of the land for sheep grazing. It is formerly a "great sheep district". In the 1600s the early English and Dutch settlers found the rolling hills ideal for the thousands of sheep that grazed there, providing mutton and wool. Muttontown is probably best known for its nature preserves, its handsome estates and of course, its pleasant residential character.
