Located along the eastern shore of the Hudson River, Ossining is a unique village in Westchester County that beautifully blends history, culture, and modern living. Known historically as Sing Sing—a name still famously associated with its state correctional facility—Ossining officially changed its name in 1901 to escape the stigma, yet its historical significance remains undiminished.
Today, Ossining is a thriving village with a population of over 27,000 residents, according to the 2020 U.S. Census. Its growth over the years is a testament to its appeal as a place to live, work, and raise a family. With a geographical area covering 6.3 square miles, nearly half of which is water, Ossining offers stunning views of the Hudson River, particularly near the Tappan Zee. The village’s location provides residents with not only scenic beauty but also easy access to neighboring communities and to New York City via Metro-North Railroad’s Hudson Line.
Ossining is home to a diverse and multicultural population, contributing to the village’s dynamic character. In recent years, a significant Ecuadorian community has emerged, now comprising over 21% of the local population, according to the 2020 American Community Survey. With 41% of residents identifying as Hispanic or Latino, Ossining represents one of Westchester County’s most vibrant and inclusive communities.
This cultural diversity enriches every aspect of village life—from its restaurants and local businesses to community events and educational institutions. Sullivan Brill is proud to provide compassionate and culturally sensitive legal support to this diverse population, understanding that every client has unique needs and challenges.
Ossining’s roots date back to 1685, when Frederick Philipse purchased the land from the Sint Sinck Native Americans, part of the Wappinger Confederacy. This area later became part of Philipsburg Manor, a vast estate that stretched from what is now the Bronx to the Croton River.
During the 19th century, Ossining gained national attention when Benjamin Brandreth built a successful pharmaceutical manufacturing operation in the village. His Brandreth Pills became one of the country’s most famous patent medicines, helping to put Ossining on the map.
Today, Ossining proudly preserves its heritage through landmarks listed on the National Register of Historic Places, including:
Downtown Ossining Historic District
Brandreth Pill Factory
Richard Austin House
St. Paul’s Episcopal Church and Rectory
Washington School
The Sparta neighborhood is also recognized as a local historic district, further highlighting the village’s commitment to preserving its past.
Ossining boasts a wide array of public services, including a modern public library, first established as the Sing Sing Public Library in 1893. The current Ossining Public Library, opened in 2007, offers residents access to over 110,000 books, a 250-seat theater, an art gallery, and more than 50 internet terminals. The main reading room is named in honor of Pulitzer Prize–winning author John Cheever, a longtime resident.
Educational excellence is also a hallmark of Ossining. The Ossining Union Free School District operates several public schools and is known for Ossining High School, recognized nationally for its academic achievements. The village also benefits from the presence of Westchester Community College and Pace University nearby, offering residents access to higher education and workforce development programs.
Ossining’s commuter-friendly infrastructure makes it ideal for professionals working in New York City or other parts of Westchester County. The Ossining Metro-North Station provides direct rail access to Grand Central Terminal, while the Bee-Line Bus System and NY Waterway ferry offer additional commuting options.
Major roads like US 9, NY 133, and NY 134 connect Ossining to neighboring towns and cities. Although the village lacks an interstate highway, its regional roadways make it highly accessible for residents and visitors alike.
Despite its rich history and active civic life, Ossining is not immune to personal injury incidents. With busy roads, construction zones, retail areas, and public spaces, accidents can and do happen—from car collisions on Route 9 to slip-and-fall injuries in commercial establishments or workplace injuries in the area’s manufacturing and construction industries.
