Irvington, New York (also known as Irvington-on-Hudson) is an affluent suburban village in the Town of Greenburgh in Westchester County. It is located on the eastern bank of the Hudson River twenty miles north of midtown Manhattan.

Before the area was settled by the Europeans, it was inhabited by the Wickquasgeck Indians. The land was a part of the Philipse Manor like several towns and villages of Westchester County. The land of Irvington was sold to William Dutcher after Frederick Philipse III sided with the British in American Revolutionary War. William Dutcher used the land to farm and sold it later to Justus Dearman in 1817. Several streets in Irvington are named after Barent and William Dutcher, Captain John Buckhout and Wolfert Ecker.

The former home of Wolfert Ecker was a notorious American patriot hang-out which was burned down by British troops during the American Revolutionary War. Captain Han Harnse built the Harnse-Conklin-Odell Tavern on Broadway in 1693 where the Committee of Safety learned that George Washington lost the Battle of Long Island. In 1854 the village changed its name to Irvington, after the American author Washington Irving. By 1849 the Hudson River Railroad reached Irvington and the village was officially incorporated on April 16, 1872.

The village of Irvington is currently run by Mayor Jonathan Siegel and Trustees: Constance Kehoe, Kenneth Bernstein, Walter Montgomery and Brian Smith. The village is served by the Irvington Union Free School District including: Dows Lane Elementary School, Irvington High School, Irvington Middle School and Main Street School. Notable businesses in the village include: Columbia University’s Nevis Laboratories, Columbia University Press, Eileen Fisher, Flat World Knowledge, House Party and The Student Center.

Irvington’s rich history and Historical Society has kept many points of interest alive including: the Dutch farm Sunnyside, the Washington Irving Memorial, the Irvington Town Hall, the Cosmopolitan Building, East Irvington Public School, Nevis, and Odell’s Tavern.
