The Town of Ardsley is located in the municipality of Ardsley in the southwestern part of Westchester County, New York. Ardsley Village Hall is located at 507 Ashford Avenue, Ardsley, NY 10502 in Westchester County. The village government is responsible for police and fire protection, maintenance of roads and parks, refuse collection, zoning and building standards and recreation.
Ardsley's policy-making body is the Board of Trustees. The mayor and four board members are elected for two-year terms. The Village Manager implements the policies of the Board of Trustees and is in charge of the day-to-day operation of the village. The Village Clerk handles a variety of administrative tasks including the issuing of licenses and permits, keeping the laws and records of the village, and supervising local elections.
A Bit of History The area that includes the Village of Ardsley was originally inhabited by the Weckqueskecks, a branch of the Mohican tribe of the Algonquin nation. Ashford Avenue, the main road, was once used by the Indians to travel from the Hudson River to Long Island Sound.
By the late 1600's, the land became part of the vast Philipse Manor. Frederick III supported the British during the American Revolution and General George Washington ordered him arrested in 1776. Philipse and his family later fled to British occupied New York City and then to England, where the last "Lord of the Manor", broken in spirit and health, died in 1786. His land and his mansion were confiscated by the New York State Legislature and sold at public auction, mostly to former tenants who had supported the patriot cause.
There was a sawmill and gristmill on the Sawmill River, a blacksmith shop, and by the time of the Civil War, three pickle factories. In the early 1880's the Putnam Railroad was built, and the New Croton Aqueduct was constructed. A "boom" followed. Many lots were sold and developed, electric lights were installed and roads were improved. In 1883, since there already was an Ashford Post Office in the state, the Village name was changed to Ardsley. On March 2, 1883 the first Postmaster was appointed. The Village was incorporated in 1896 and by 1898 the population had grown to 372.
Point of Interest: In 1781, Ardsley Village was the campsite for both General Washington and Count de Rochambeau, the commander of the French Army who helped the colonists in the American Revolution.

A Bit of History It is believed that the Town of North Castle was originally inhabited by the Siwanoy, part of the Wappinger Confederacy and members of the Algonquin nation. In the early 1700s, King William gave his favorite courtiers the West Patent, of which the western portion of North Castle was a part, and the Middle Patent, the eastern part of North Castle.
The area quickly became a refuge for people fleeing from religious persecution. People from Massachusetts and Connecticut settled the eastern part of North Castle, while Quakers from Rye and Long Island gathered in Armonk. By 1730, North Castle was an established settlement.
The Town of North Castle was incorporated on March 7, 1788. North Castle's name is said to derive from a barrier built by the Mohican people to protect themselves from enemy attacks which stood on the hillside now occupied by the international headquarters of I.B.M. Corporation. They called the site "North Fort" and European settlers later gave it the name of North Castle. The name Armonk is derived from another Mohican word, 'Cohamoog', which means 'the wide, flat place where the water runs'.
During the American Revolution, New and North Castle were officially considered neutral territory although in reality the area was strongly patriotic. A significant Revolutionary War conflict happened in North Castle at the "Battle of White Plains". Learn more at the American Revolution in Westchester County.

A Bit of History of Cold Spring, New York While strolling along the sidewalks and the waterfront of historic Cold Spring, it is easy to envision why a village was established here on the banks of the Hudson River. The abundance of natural resources and the ingenuity of Cold Spring’s first settlers put it on the map nearly 200 years ago.
"As early as the 1600s, the Hudson River was used as a major watercourse by Native Americans and continued to be a main mode of travel and transport until the nineteenth century. In addition, Cold Spring’s proximity to what is now Fahnestock State Park provided a cheap source of lumber and iron ore. Margaret’s Brook, a small creek located to the west of Route 9D which runs into the Hudson River, supplied hydro-power to the West Point Foundry, which helped propel Cold Spring from a tiny hamlet into a bustling village. Even the name of Cold Spring is linked to a natural resource. Myth has it that George Washington drank from a local spring and declared it to be refreshingly cold."
In 1973, the Village of Cold Spring was designated a Federal Historic District, and tourists have been visiting Cold Spring’s historic sites, shops, restaurants and nearby hiking trails ever since.
