February 2, 2026 marked the tenth anniversary of the listing of the Quogue Historic District on the National Register of Historic Places by the National Park Service of the U.S. Department of the Interior. Listing in the National Register provides an “official” recognition that Quogue possesses (as stated on the National Register website): “a remarkable collection of architecture that reflects Quogue’s history as an early agricultural community transformed into a predominantly seasonal community during the nineteenth century.” The Quogue Historic District was established with over 250 “contributing” structures, and resulted from the collective efforts of the Quogue Historical Society supported by the Village and several residents, who engaged expert historical consultants to document the history of the Village, and to inventory and catalog historic structures and properties.
In light of the tenth anniversary, the Village Trustees adopted a resolution in January congratulating the Quogue Historical Society and the residents of the Village on their continuing efforts to encourage the preservation of the historic character of the Village. Links to the map of the Historic District and to the National Register of Historic Places Registration Form are posted below. The Registration Form provides a detailed description of the Historic District and an inventory of the contributing structures located therein. All Village departments, boards and committees have updated their respective application forms to require that applicants identify whether the project under review is located in the Quogue Historic District and whether the project site contains a contributing historic structure. These measures reflect the desire of the Trustees to promote the benefits of the Quogue Historic District and further encourage the preservation of the historic character of our Village.
