Usually I'm on top of this stuff but Eastport is one of the few places on LI I know absolutely nothing about, sorry. If I've got a minute later tonight I'll try looking some stuff up for you, good luck!
Eastport is a hamlet (an unincorporated area) partly in the Town of Brookhaven and partly in the Town of Southampton, in the east-central part of Suffolk County.
Beginning on the north and moving in a clockwise direction, the Hamlet of Eastport in the Towns of Brookhaven and Southampton is bordered on the north by the Hamlet of Manorville and the Hamlet of Calverton, Town of Brookhaven and the Hamlet of Northampton, Town of Southampton; on the east by the Hamlet of Remsenburg-Speonk, Town of Southampton; on the south by the Great South Bay and the Hamlet of East Moriches, Town of Brookhaven; and, on the west by the Hamlet of East Moriches and the Hamlet of Manorville, Town of Brookhaven.
The Hamlet of Eastport has a different border than does the "Eastport, NY 11941" ZIP Code postal zone (i.e., a place can have an "Eastport, NY 11941" nailing address and not be in the Hamlet of Eastport and a place can have other than an "Eastport. NY 11941" mailing address and be in the Hamlet of Eastport): places that have an "Eastport, NY 11941" mailing address that are not in the Hamlet of Eastport are in the Hamlet of Manorville; and, at the same time, there are places in the Hamlet of Eastport with an "East Moriches, NY 11940" and a "Speonk, NY 11972" mailing address.

I don't know much about the history, but make sure you include this: Shrine of Our Lady of the Island
A lot of people who know nothing about Eastport know about this.

I actually did try to find information on Eastport for this poster but had a very hard time finding anything on the internet. The most interesting factoid I came across was that Eastport was originally known as Seatuck, but the name was changed when the area's residents applied for a post office and were denied because the name was deemed "too similar" to Setauket.
It is really nice, pretty along main street.
If you blink you might go right past it. The houses by the water are really nice too.
You might want to contact the Manorville Historical Society for more information.
