Millwood is a quiet, picturesque hamlet and census-designated place (CDP) with deep historical roots. Originally settled as Sarlesville, the area underwent several name changes throughout the 19th century. On historic maps, parts of Millwood appeared as Merritt’s Corners, located where NY Route 100 and NY Route 120 intersect, and Rockdale Mills, near the present-day Briarcliff Manor border. As of the 2000 census, Millwood had a population of 1,210, making it a small yet tightly-knit community within the greater New Castle area.
Though modest in size, Millwood has played a notable role in the cultural fabric of Westchester County. It is the hometown of Vanessa Williams, Miss America 1984, actress, and singer. Though she now resides in nearby Chappaqua, her early roots in Millwood remain part of the hamlet’s story.
Education is a cornerstone of life in Millwood. The hamlet falls under the Chappaqua Central School District, one of the most prestigious in the state. Most Millwood students attend Westorchard Elementary School, Seven Bridges Middle School, and Horace Greeley High School—the latter of which boasts a remarkable statistic: over 94% of graduates go on to attend four-year colleges. This strong academic environment adds to Millwood’s appeal for families seeking a balance between peaceful living and quality education.
Millwood's development over the years was significantly shaped by the railroad. The hamlet once featured a station along the New York and Putnam Railroad, later part of the New York Central Railroad’s Putnam Division. Though the last passenger train ran in 1958 and freight service ended in 1962, the corridor has since been transformed into the North County Trailway, a scenic route for walkers and cyclists that traces the history of this bygone rail line.
Today, Millwood is well-connected by several key highways. NY Route 120, NY Route 100, and NY Route 133 all serve the area, providing easy access to neighboring towns such as Mt. Kisco, Ossining, Somers, and Rye. Additionally, the Taconic State Parkway offers north-south travel through Westchester, making Millwood an ideal residential hub for commuters and professionals.
Millwood is home to Sarles’ Tavern, also known as the Granite House, which was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1979. This historic structure stands as a testament to the hamlet’s colonial past and its evolution through generations of settlers and civic leaders.
Though the Millwood train station is no longer in service, its site remains a historical landmark. The original station house, replaced several times over the years, was finally demolished in 2012. However, the outline of the platform remains visible, offering a tangible connection to the past for residents and visitors alike.
Community protection is deeply valued in Millwood, where the Millwood Fire Company serves as a pillar of safety. The company was born out of necessity in 1924 after a lightning strike ignited a fire at the Millwood railroad station. With no local fire equipment, residents had to rely on neighboring departments. In response, a group of local families came together to form what would become the Millwood Fire Company.
Today, this all-volunteer department operates two stations—Station #1 on Route 120 and Station #2 on Route 134—and responds to over 300 calls per year. The fire company is staffed by approximately 50 volunteers and is equipped with modern firefighting apparatus including engines, a tanker, a ladder truck, and a rescue engine. Their unwavering dedication to safety and service plays a vital role in maintaining Millwood’s peaceful atmosphere.
Despite Millwood’s calm and community-focused environment, accidents and injuries can happen anywhere.
