Rye
Rye is located east of Mamaroneck, on the Long Island Sound. It is about 32 miles north of New York City. In 1660, John Coe, Thomas Studwell and Peter Disbrow traveled from Greenwich and settled Rye. A year later, John Budd of Long Island joined them. The four men purchased all the land between the Byram and Mamaroneck Rivers and far inland from the Long Island Sound. Rye was an agricultural community and during the Revolutionary War was neutral ground when both the British and Americans entered the city. In the 1800's wealthy New Yorkers began moving into the area and building grand homes. These included Peter Augustus Jay, son of the first Supreme Court Justice John Jay, who built a Greek Revival Mansion in 1838. In 1904, Rye separated itself from the village of Port Chester and the unincorporated Town of Rye. In 1942, it became Westchester County's smallest city.

Mamaroneck
The Town of Mamaroneck consists of the Unincorporated Area, the Village of Larchmont and the part of the Village of Mamaroneck lying west of the Mamaroneck River or that part that is not Rye Neck. Though both incorporated villages are self-governing, the unincorporated area and the villages constitute the Town as a political and governmental subdivision of the State. The Town Provides certain services to the Villages of Larchmont and Mamaroneck such as recreation, property assessment services and election supervision To residents of the unincorporated area however, the Town provides direct municipal services including police, fire and sanitation. The Town elects its own officials, adopts its own laws, and manages its own finances.

Larchmont
Larchmont, which lies within the Town of Mamaroneck, has a history dating back to September 23, 1661. On that day John Richbell, a prosperous trader, acquired three necks of land on the Westchester Path from Chiefs Wappaquewam and his brother Manhatahan. Larchmont, which was the middle of the three necks of land, was purchased in 1701 by Samuel Palmer who lived there with his family until about 1790 when most of it was purchased by Peter Jay Munro, nephew of John Jay. Thomas J. S. Flint, the next owner of the property, formed the Larchmont Manor Company with the idea of developing the property into a suburban community. Larchmont Manor became home to many wealthy New Yorkers who thought of Larchmont as a summer colony. Flint reserved six acres of waterfront land and named it Larchmont Manor Park. Manor Park, which is open to the public, is one of the most scenic spots in Larchmont with breathtaking views of the Long Island Sound, Gazebo and walking path. By the late 1800's, Larchmont had begun to attract many permanent year-round residents as well as theatrical figures like Actor Michael O'Keefe, playwright Edward Albee, Jean and Walter Kerr and F.W. Proctor.
