History

Hands Creek Farm, located in East Hampton, NY, has a history dating back to the 17th century. Stephen Hand, one of the property owners, came to East Hampton with his parents from England. The farm has a rich history, and its property owner's association was filed in 1981. Stephen Hand was about 14 years old when he came to East Hampton with his parents, John Hand and the former Alice Gransden, both of whom were born in the County of Kent, England. Stephen Hand's Path, among several roads laid early on, leads from Wainscott to Northwest. On Nov. 3, 1668, its namesake granted the town permission to put a 12-foot-wide highway through his woodland, but "only to drive carts and oxen in yoake & to ride & to lead a horse through; not to drive cattle through out of yoake." Other reminders in the town of the illustrious Hand family (which included the Supreme Court Justice Learned Hand) are Hand Lane in Amagansett, Hand's Creek in Northwest, and Hand's Creek Road. In England in the Middle Ages, the name meant handy or handsome." *

The entrance to HCF is at Timberline Road and Hands Creek Road, just south of the end of Stephen Hands Path.
