Hartsdale is a hamlet in the town of Greenburg, New York. The hamlet lies on the Bronx River just 20 miles north of New York City and is served by the Metro North Harlem Line into Grand Central Terminal. America’s first canine pet cemetery is located in Hartsdale as well as the world’s first Carvel Ice Cream store which opened in 1934.

The Weekquaeskeeks were Hartsdale’s earliest settlers and a sub-tribe of the Algonquian tribe. “Weelquaeskeek” is an Algonquian term meaning “place of the bark kettle”. The kettle appears in the Greenburg town seal. Once the earliest British colonialists arrived the area was developed under the Manor system when Dutch merchant and British Loyalist Frederick Philipse, was given the land by the British government. As Lord of his Philipse Manor, he leased his land to tenant farmers who were believed to live alongside their Weekquaeskeek neighbors.

The Odell House on Ridge Road, built in 1732, played a major role during the American Revolutionary War. The home served as the headquarters for the French General Comte de Rochambeau and is where the Comte and George Washington formed an alliance in the Battle of Yorktown. Today the house is a museum.

After the Revolutionary War was won, The Lord of the Philipse Manor Frederick Philipse III fled and his land was confiscated and sold to the farming tenants. Many of the tenants were descendants of the Hart family and the intersection at Central Park Avenue and Hartsdale Avenue was name “Hart’s Corners” after Robert Hart. This soon became Hartsdale. Between 1880 and 1940 the area was converted into a fashionable commuter village and farmlands and estates were converted into private homes and apartments. The term “Couch Potato” was born in Hartsdale when Scottish inventor John Logie Baird transmitted the world’s first intercontinental short-wave television signal from a transmitter in Coulsdon, Surrey to a cellar of Robert M. Hart.
