Southold New York Long Island Founders Landing 1910s Postcard Unposted Divided

This postcard dates to the 1910s and depicts Founders Landing in Southold, New York, a waterfront site tied to the town’s seventeenth-century English settlement and early maritime activity on the North Fork of Long Island.

Southold developed as one of the earliest colonial communities in New York, shaped by agriculture, coastal trade, and ferry connections across Long Island Sound. Founders Landing served as both a symbolic and practical shoreline point, linking local history with everyday transportation and commerce. Postcards of this period often presented such locations as calm, orderly civic spaces, reinforcing their role as historical markers within an evolving seaside landscape.

The postcard shows a stone building and wall at the edge of a paved road near the water, with trees framing the scene and the shoreline visible beyond. The caption “Founders Landing 1649, Southold, Long Island, N.Y.” appears within the image area. The card is divided back and unposted, with a natural view layout typical of early twentieth-century topographical postcards.
