The Village of Dering Harbor was incorporated in 1917 after many successful years as a resort community formed in 1873 as Shelter Island Park.

The centerpiece of the community was the great Manhanset House that opened in 1874 serving the well-to-do of the late 19th century during the summer season. As the hotel was nestled overlooking a protected harbor with access to both Long Island Sound and Block Island Sound with LIRR service from Brooklyn, the community attracted many yachting families from the New York Yacht Club, Atlantic Yacht Club, and other clubs from New York Harbor to Long Island Sound to Bristol Rhode Island. One of the many legacies is the large fleet of Herreshoff 12 1/2 footers located at the Shelter Island Yacht Club not to mention the burgees of some of the Club's earliest members displayed as you find your way to the head.
