Wainscott is a census-designated place (CDP) that roughly corresponds to the hamlet with the same name in the Town of East Hampton in Suffolk County, New York, on the South Fork of Long Island. As of the 2010 United States Census, the CDP population was 650. The CDP was created for the 2000 census. == Background and history == Wainscott was home to the last public one-room schoolhouse operating in New York until an annex was built in 2008. The hamlet was named after Wainscott, Kent, a village north of Maidstone, England, an area immortalized in Charles Dickens' ''Great Expectations'' and from which most of the early settlers of East Hampton came.〔(Wainscott - Long Island Expressway, Turning Point - Newsday.com )〕 Facing the Atlantic Ocean to the south, Wainscott has some of the most expensive property in the world. On its west is the village of Sagaponack, and on the east is the village of East Hampton. Other communities that border Wainscott are the CDPs of East Hampton North and Northwest Harbor to the northeast, the village of Sag Harbor to the north, and the CDPs of Noyack and Bridgehampton to the west (north of Sagaponack). The east side of Wainscott faces Georgica Pond. The exclusive Georgica Association has a subdivision on the west side of the pond. The Association's most famous house, called the "Michael Kennedy house" (a lawyer who represented such diverse clients as the Black Panthers and Ivana Trump), was the beach house featured in the 2004 film ''Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind''. The PBS children's show ''It's a Big Big World'' is taped in the industrial park at the East Hampton Airport which is in Wainscott. The Wainscott railroad station on the Montauk Branch closed in the 1930s. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Wainscott, New York」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
