Elmsford

Elmsford is a small village located within the town of Greenburgh in Westchester County, New York, situated in the suburban region north of New York City. The community sits at the intersection of major transportation routes that connect it to surrounding towns and neighborhoods.

The village was originally known as Storm's Bridge and Hall's Corners before receiving its current name in 1870, which comes from a prominent elm tree in the area. This renaming marked an important moment in the community's early development.

The village maintains strong community bonds through annual celebrations including Memorial Day ceremonies, Kwanzaa festivities, and summer music performances in the park.

The village is well served by the Interstate 287 and Saw Mill River Parkway, providing convenient connections to surrounding areas and offering a range of dining and lodging options. Visitors will find basic services and amenities needed for a comfortable stay or visit.

The former railroad tracks of the New York and Putnam Railroad have been converted into two popular walking and cycling trails: the South County Trailway and the North County Trailway. These green paths now provide residents and visitors with recreational use of the historic right-of-way.
