Formerly the village of Rye, the city of Rye received its charter as a city in 1942—the most recent to be issued in New York State. The first Chief Justice of the Supreme Court and one of the Founding Fathers, John Jay spent his childhood and final days in the city of Rye. The 24th, 25th and 26th miles from New York City milestones along the Boston Post Road, fixed in 1763 by Benjamin Franklin, still stand today.

Like many of the towns and cities of Westchester, the city of Rye was settled by a group of families from Greenwich, Connecticut. Peter Disbrow, John Coe, Tomas Studwell and John Budd were amongst the first settlers in the area. Rye is the oldest permanent settlement in Westchester and once included the Town of Rye, Harrison, White Plains, parts of Greenwich, North Castle and Mamaroneck settled for Connecticut. In 1700 Rye became part of New York State and the New York State Legislature officially established the Town of Rye boundaries in 1788.

By 1904 the city of Rye had two schools, five churches, a library and an expanding population. At this time, the village of Rye was formed after a special election held at Theodore Fremd’s market. The 1920s brought a rush of suburbanites and summer residents to the village. The Town of Rye maintains efforts of expansion while maintaining its residential character. Its natural endowments include varied rolling landscapes, tree-lined streets and winding brooks.
