Tarrytown is a village in the Town of Greenburg in Westchester County, New York. Tarrytown is just north of the village of Sleepy Hollow at the entrance of the Tappan Zee Bridge. The first residents of the area of Tarrytown were the Weckquaesgeeks Indians, closely related to the Wappinger Confederacy. They raised corn, squash, beans and tobacco, fished for shad and oysters and hunted deer and black bear in the area.

The wealthy businessman Frederick Philipse acquired 90,000 acres of land in Tarrytown and Sleep Hollow, where he built his residence and grist mill. This grist mill was the center of life for most the 18th century. Several more industries followed the grist mill including the Silver Shoe Factory and The Woodward Steam Pump Company. General Motors has been a long time employer of Tarrytown and Sleepy Hollow.

Major John André, a British spy, was arrested, convicted and hung in Tarrytown during the Revolutionary War. André, a British Army officer, was found with suspicious papers tucked in his boot while traveling south through the village on the Albany Post Road.

Washington Irving described Tarrytown in his story “The Legend of Sleep Hollow” as “In the bosom of one of those spacious coves which indent the eastern shore of the Hudson, at that broad expansion of the river denominated by the ancient Dutch navigators of the Tappan Zee, and where they always prudently shortened sail and implored the protection of St. Nicolas when they crossed, there lies a small market town or rural port which by some is called Greenburgh, but which is more generally and properly known by the name of Tarry Town.”

The village of Tarrytown is currently governed by Mayor Drew Fixell, Deputy Mayor Thomas Basher and Trustees Robert Hoyt, Mary McGee, Rebecca McGovern and Douglas Zollo. Points of interest include the Christ Church of Tarrytown, the Hackley School, Patriot’s Park, Lyndhurst and Tarrytown Music Hall.
