Bailey Arboretum, a 42-acre property situated on the estate of the renowned horticulturalist, Frank Bailey.
In 1660, the Matinecock Indians sold the area to Richard Latting and his son, Josiah Latting. The Lattings sold marsh reeds for thatched-roof houses and named the area after them. The former and merged names of Lattingtown include Latten Towne. There were also a small collection of farmers settled in the area for almost two and a half centuries, but with no train station or main road, the tiny community remained inaccessible and quiet. Lattingtown became an incorporated village in 1931. Today, the neighborhood is considered as one of the wealthiest communities in the country and there is a 118-acre estate whose residents have taken vows of poverty. About 88% of living spaces in Lattingtown are occupied by their owners, and only 12% by renters.
