A Brief History Eight years after the founding of the Village of Irvington, the first order of business was to permanently organize a hose and engine company. On April 18, 1880, the Irvington Fire Association No. 1 was organized and had a roster of 38 men.
On Aug. 5, 1880, a hand-drawn fire engine was purchased for $372. A jumper, hose and three trumpets were purchase from E.V. Leverich for $151. A two-story wood framed building at the North end of North Ferris Street was rented and became the first firehouse.
The first fire alarms were sounded by a cry of “FIRE”, usually by the village constable, who was also the town lamplighter. Shortly after the equipment was housed in quarters, a large iron ring was hung outside the building and pounded to summon firefighters...
The Irvington Fire Department has had three homes in its first 125 years... Several meetings afterward, the Board finally selected a site that was village-owned, at 90 Main Street and work on the new home of the Fire Department started on January 27, 1964. On the first weekend of October, apparatus and equipment was moved into the new building and on Sept. 4, 1965, the building was formally dedicated, and remains their home today. Today, the fire bell used early in the department’s life has a place of honor in the front of the firehouse among the flowerbeds by the front door.

Irvington is located in the southwestern part of Westchester County, NY. Irvington borders the Hudson River. Starting in the 1850's, Irvington began to attract wealthy NYC residents. Irvington's beautiful views of the Hudson and its rural setting enticed many people to build large summer residences.
The Village of Irvington was incorporated April 16, 1872. The territory of the village was part of the Bissightick track of the Van der Donck grant purchased by Frederick Phillipse in 1682. In 1817, Justice Dearman bought half of William Dutcher's farm and lived there until 1848 when it was sold to Gustavo F. Sanchi. In the same year, it was sold to John Jay, grandson of Justice John Jay, who arranged for it to be laid out in lots as the Village of Dearman. The lots were sold at public auction in New York City in 1850; the village of "Dearman" was formed. In 1854, "Dearman", by popular vote, changed its name to "Irvington," honoring its beloved citizen, Washington Irvington, author of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle". Works by Louis Comfort Tiffany, who also lived here, can be seen in the town hall, library and the Irvington Presbyterian Church.
