==Geography== [[File:PJBoats.JPG|thumb|upright=1.2|Boats in Port Jefferson Harbor]] [[File:Aerial View of Port Jefferson, NY October 14, 2018.png|thumb|An aerial view of Port Jefferson in 2018.]] The village's commerce is divided into two centers that lie {{convert|1|mile|adj=on}} apart along Main Street and at differing elevations. These are known as ''Lower Port Jefferson'' and ''Upper Port Jefferson'', respectively the waterfront and the railroad station sections of town. The first is currently the center of tourism, while the latter is undergoing plans for revitalization to the economic viability of its historic self. Further from Main Street, the remainder of Port Jefferson consists of several residential neighborhoods defined by the hills on which they sit. In the northeastern corner of the village is the neighborhood of ''Harbor Hills''. This neighborhood occupies the western edge of Mount Sinai Harbor and contains the Port Jefferson Country Club at Harbor Hills. ''Brick Hill'' is the neighborhood directly west of the Lower Port Jefferson commercial center and was first developed by the noted circus owner [[P. T. Barnum]]. West of Upper Port Jefferson is ''Cedar Hill'', which is topped by the c. 1859 Cedar Hill Cemetery where residents formerly would bask while enjoying views over the village from its highest point. Within Port Jefferson is Port Jefferson Harbor, a natural deepwater harbor. Setauket Harbor branches off to the west from the harbor. One notable geographic feature is The Cove, a small cove dredged in the early 20th century by the Seaboard Dredging Company. The original name was Seaboard Hole, but it was changed for the sake of appealing to tourists, and several large sand dunes artificially created by the dredging can also be found here.
