RYE BROOK, NEW YORK
The Village of Rye Brook is situated 20+ miles northeast of New York City, in mid Westchester County, in the Town of Rye. Near the Long Island Sound, it borders the Town of Greenwich, CT and several other Westchester communities, including Rye, Harrison, Port Chester and Purchase.
Rye Town’s heritage dates back to 1640 when colonists from Connecticut purchased the land from Native Americans of the Siwanoy Nation. The Colonists who began to establish themselves named it after Rye, in Sussex, England, their former home. Eventually, the communities within the Town established themselves as four separate municipalities, including Port Chester, Mamaroneck, Rye Neck and Rye Brook, which remained the last unincorporated area until it became a Village, and Westchester’s newest municipality, in 1982.
Careful developmental planning preserves Rye Brook’s small town character, its open green areas and residents quality of life. There is a high level of community involvement in local government, volunteer organizations, youth sports and recreational activities. Several large corporations provide support for the school tax base.
