Somers, Town in Westchester County, United States
Situated at an elevation of 116 meters, Somers extends across northern Westchester County with residential neighborhoods and natural spaces.
The settlement changed its name from Stephentown to Somers in 1808 to honor Richard Somers, a naval captain from the First Barbary War.
The Elephant Hotel, currently functioning as the Town Hall, received National Historic Landmark designation in 2006 for its circus heritage connections.
Metro-North Railroad provides regular transportation to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan through stations at Purdys, Goldens Bridge, and Katonah.
Somers earned recognition as the birthplace of American circus when Hachaliah Bailey displayed an elephant named Old Bet in the early 1800s.
