The unique and welcoming community of Freeport began billing itself as the "Boating and Fishing Capital of the East" as long ago as the 1940s. Today, the community is known for its dramatic waterfront locations, tree-lined residential neighborhoods, and the liveliness and convenience of the downtown district. More than 45,000 Long Island residents are at home in Freeport, which ranks it as the second largest village in the entire state of New York. The diversity that began to mark Freeport in the latter half of the 20th century continues to shape and transform the area. Visitors flock to Freeport to fish on charter boats or dine in seafood restaurants at the picturesque harbor. While Freeport has numerous claims to fame, the most famous native son is Guy Lombardo. The talented band leader owned a local restaurant and was often called "Mr. Freeport."
