In 1940 Southold celebrated its 300th Anniversary. During the decade that followed an urge to create an organization to preserve and record that history began to take hold. By the mid 1950's the Historical Committee of the Southold-Peconic Civic Association was beginning the work that the Society would eventually take over.
In February of 1960 the Association met and voted to make the Historical Committee a separate entity. The Southold Historical Society was presented with its provisional charter in April of 1960 and Mrs. Ann Hallock Currie-Bell (1897-1964) was elected as the first President. The Society received its permanent charter from the University of the State of New York in 1965.
