Located in the northwestern corner of Westchester County, the Town of Cortlandt blends historical depth with suburban charm and natural beauty. With a population of 42,545 (2020 Census), Cortlandt is one of Westchester’s largest towns, offering a diverse and vibrant environment for families, professionals, and retirees alike.
Cortlandt comprises two incorporated villages: Buchanan and Croton-on-Hudson. Each village offers a unique identity while sharing in the town’s collective spirit of community and progress. The area is well-connected to the New York City metropolitan region via the Metro-North Railroad, with Cortlandt and Croton-Harmon train stations providing fast, reliable commuter access to Manhattan.
Cortlandt holds a significant place in Revolutionary War history. One of its most strategically vital locations was Kings Ferry, between Stony Point and Verplanck’s Point. This ferry served as a major crossing for General George Washington's army en route to Yorktown, Virginia, in 1781—a turning point in the fight for American independence. The importance of this historic crossing is immortalized in famed painter John Trumbull’s portrait of Washington at Verplanck’s Point.
Today, reminders of Cortlandt’s deep-rooted past live on through landmarks such as the Old Croton Dam and the Bear Mountain Bridge Road and Toll House, both of which are listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
Cortlandt is perfectly positioned for both tranquility and accessibility. With 50 square miles of total area—more than 21% of it water—residents enjoy proximity to the Hudson River, Bear Mountain Bridge, and expansive natural spaces. The town borders Peekskill, Yorktown, New Castle, and Ossining, making it an ideal location for those who seek a balanced blend of nature, history, and suburban living.
The Appalachian Trail even passes through the northwest portion of the town, briefly crossing Bear Mountain Bridge—the only segment of the famed trail that enters Westchester County. Whether you're a hiker, history buff, or commuter, Cortlandt offers something for everyone.
As of the 2000 Census, Cortlandt had over 38,000 residents, with approximately 13,500 households and 10,100 families. The town has seen steady growth, and its median household income of $75,442 and median family income of $89,053 reflect a thriving, middle- to upper-middle-class population. The community is diverse and welcoming, with over 88% identifying as White, and growing populations of African American, Asian, and Hispanic residents.
Cortlandt values education, public safety, and family life. Most households are made up of families with children, and there is strong support for public schools, parks, and recreational programs.
Cortlandt’s proximity to U.S. Route 9 and its dual train stations—Cortlandt and Croton-Harmon—make commuting to New York City or neighboring towns exceptionally easy. In fact, Croton-Harmon is a major hub not just for Metro-North, but also Amtrak, offering additional travel convenience for residents and visitors alike.
