Irvington

Known for its scenic beauty, historic charm, and strong sense of community, Irvington offers a unique living experience that’s hard to find elsewhere. The village is nestled along the Hudson River, providing breathtaking views and a tranquil atmosphere.

Originally the home of the Wecquaesgeek, an Indigenous people of the Wappinger Tribes, it later became farmland during periods of Dutch and English control. Irvington and its local residents played a critical role in the Revolutionary War as part of the Neutral Grounds between English and Colonial forces. The arrival of the Hudson River Railroad in 1847 led to the founding of the village, the breakup of traditional tenant farms, and a growing population.

Because of its physical beauty and proximity to New York City, Irvington became a favored place for country estates in the latter half of the 19th Century and the beginning of the 20th Century. As those estates began to be sold off for development before World War II, Irvington evolved into the vibrant residential community it remains today.

The quaint village has a strong sense of community, with welcoming and friendly residents actively participating in local events and initiatives. Whether it’s the annual Halloween parade, farmers’ market, or summer concerts in the park, there’s always something happening in Irvington that brings people together.
