Westhampton station was originally built between February and March 1870 along what was then the Sag Harbor Branch. In 1905 a second station was built when the first one was moved to a private location. The station burned down in 1986, but was rebuilt sometime between then and the year 2000. Currently the station has a high-level sheltered platform. When Quogue station was closed on March 16, 1998, Westhampton was one of the two stations that replaced it. The other was Hampton Bays.
