More about us...

The Westchester County chapter in Mather & Brockett's Geographical History of the State of New York (1848).  Treatment of this county is quite comprehensive in its treatment of the county's physical geography and history but a little spotty in coverage of the towns that comprised it.  Note that the Bronx was not to become a separate county for another half century, more or less.  We also include the two page summary of New York State land grants for background in this download.  8+ pages, PDF format, download now for $3.00
