Elmsford was known as Storm's Bridge in the early 1700's and as Hall's Corners during the middle of the nineteenth century. One-mile square, it is midway between White Plains and Tarrytown. Elmsford was named in 1870 for a large elm tree, nearly 30 feet in circumference which had been a landmark since the Revolutionary War.
In Elmsford's central square was a tavern, built in the early 1700's by Abraham Storm, and known later as O'Brien's Chateau. During the Revolutionary War, French and Colonial officers often gathered in this tavern and the barmaid, Betsy, frequently garnished their drinks with the tail feathers of chickens appropriated by the Colonials from Torie's hen-coops in the neighborhood. Thus Elmsford became the birthplace of that celebrated libation, "the cocktail." The tavern was also the scene of the escape of Harvey Birch, famous American spy, as related by James Fenimore Cooper in "The Spy". In his writings Cooper also mentioned another historical place in Elmsford, "Katy's Cave, " where American soldiers were hidden during the Revolution.
Through the greater part of the 1800's Elmsford grew very slowly. It was just a little hamlet with a church, a school and a store, surrounded by outlying farms. Then in the last decades of the century the railroad followed the river northward and established a station there. This meant that people who worked in New York City could now live in Elmsford. The village experienced a population explosion which culminated in its incorporation in 1910.
The easy accessibility of the community has contributed greatly to the industrial and commercial position of the village. One of the first radio stations in the county and perhaps the state, WRW began operation in Tarrytown in 1920 by an Elmsford resident. Descendants of Alexander Hamilton and Isaac Van Wart have resided in Elmsford. Van Wart, one of the captors of Major John Andre, during the Revolution, is buried in the cemetery of the Elmsford Reformed Church.
Point of Interest: In 1955 the Empire City Racing Association offered the village a life-size statue of "Dollar", a famous racehorse and sire of a line of thoroughbreds. The statue had once stood at the gate of the Empire City Racetrack (later Yonkers Raceway), purchased by James Butler in 1908. "Dollar" had been moved to the Butler estate, which had since been sold to Union Carbide. Elmsford decided to accept the statue and to have it placed in front of Village Hall. So in May of 1956, a crane pulled up and workmen lowered the statue. It is told that the Village Clerk was dismayed that the tail end was facing her office. Up went the statue again and when it was finally put down the tail end was facing the Police Department. By the time the Chief of Police had arrived on the scene, the truck had pulled away. Since that day the statue has been a well-known and unique historical landmark in the Village of Elmsford.

The Greenburgh Public Library is located at 177 Hillside Avenue, Greenburgh, NY 10607 in Westchester County. The Greenburgh Public Library was granted its charter on August 24, 1962, and began library service to Greenburgh residents that month in rented rooms in a Dobbs Ferry Road Building. In 1969, the Library moved into an 18,900 square-foot building in a central location on Tarrytown Road to better serve the public. At that time, we served a population of about 18,500 people. Presently, we serve a population of approximately 44,000 people, who reside in 10 separate school district areas of the unincorporated portions of the Town of Greenburgh. The Library has a collection of 186,000 items, including books, periodicals, DVDs, videos, CDs and audio books. Greenburgh Library is the fifth largest member of the Westchester Library System, and in 2005 had the second highest circulation in the county.
In early 2007, the Library began a renovation and expansion project, which will result in doubling the building size and increasing the services we offer. During the renovation and expansion, which is expected to take two years to complete, we are providing full library services in satellite locations throughout Greenburgh, including the Town Hall and the Multipurpose Center.

Greenburgh Central 7 is a school district with a diverse student body. The diverse social, economic, and cultural heritages of our students are an asset which enrich the school life of the students and prepare them for the society in which they will live. We have a responsibility to maintain a diversity of staff and to provide for the interaction of our children in order to develop a healthy, stable, and democratic community. This demands a humanistic approach that must consider the similarities and the differences of all peoples. Top priority must also be given to preparing students for a useful career and an enriched cultural life.
Since society, in all its aspects, is ever-changing, the curriculum should reflect these changes.
