Highlights
Beginnings: Theodore Roosevelt lived here. George Washington slept here. And now computer executive Charles B. Wang owns more than an eighth of this tiny, elite peninsula village jutting into Long Island Sound. It was settled by English farmers in the 1650s, and by 1682, the Cooper family, namesakes of Cooper's Bluff on its east end, farmed a large part of it. Mary Cooper, colonial farm wife, kept a diary from 1768-73, and hers was no limousine life. In all weather she walked the three miles to Oyster Bay, fording the Cove Brook which crossed the road. The brook is now piped underground. The Cooper house is still a private residence.
