Pelham, Residential town in Westchester County, New York.

Pelham occupies 2.4 square miles of land north of the Bronx, containing two incorporated villages with a population of 13,078 residents.

Thomas Pell acquired the land from Siwanoy Indians in 1654, naming it after his tutor Pelham Burton before its official establishment in 1788.

The town maintains four elementary schools, one middle school, and Pelham Memorial High School through its Union Free School District educational system.

Residents access New York City through the Metro-North Railroad and Bee-Line Bus System, with stations connecting directly to Manhattan.

The Fall curbside leaf collection program operates from October through December, managing seasonal foliage throughout the residential neighborhoods.
