Ossining, Residential village in Westchester County, United States
Ossining extends along the eastern shores of the Hudson River at the Tappan Zee section, covering 6.3 square miles of combined land and water territory.
The Sint Sinck Indians sold their land to Frederick Philipse in 1685, establishing the foundation for what would become the village of Ossining.
The Ossining Public Library maintains a collection of 110,000 books and operates educational programs that serve both village and town residents.
The Metro-North Station connects commuters to Grand Central Terminal in New York City through regular service on the Hudson Line railway system.
The village changed its name from Sing Sing in 1901 to distinguish itself from the correctional facility, which remains an important local employer.
