Croton-on-Hudson, located in the town of Cortlandt, is a charming and culturally rich village nestled along the eastern banks of the Hudson River. With a population of over 8,300 as of the 2020 census, this village blends scenic beauty with deep historical roots, making it one of Westchester County’s most captivating communities. Croton-on-Hudson sits just north of New York City and is part of the city’s outer suburban ring, offering residents the perfect balance of suburban tranquility and urban accessibility.
The village was incorporated in 1898, though human settlement in the area dates back to 7000 BC. It was once home to the Kitchawanc people, a tribe of the Wappinger Confederacy, who lived on and stewarded the land long before Dutch settlers arrived. Today, the village celebrates this rich legacy with markers and memorials, such as the commemorative plaque at Croton Point Park.
Croton-on-Hudson’s modern development was heavily influenced by infrastructure projects like the Croton Dam, New Croton Dam, and the Croton Aqueduct, which played critical roles in supplying water to New York City. These massive undertakings brought waves of Irish, Italian, and German immigrants to the area in the 1800s, transforming the population and paving the way for the village’s incorporation.
The Croton-Harmon station, now a critical hub on the Metro-North Railroad and Amtrak, was established in the early 20th century thanks to real estate developer Clifford Harmon, who donated land with the stipulation that the station be named after him. The station eventually evolved into a major railway service facility and remains an essential part of the region’s transportation infrastructure.
Croton-on-Hudson has a long-standing tradition of attracting artists, writers, and activists. The neighboring Mount Airy district became a center for American communists, socialists, and left-wing intellectuals in the early 20th century, earning the area the nickname “Red Hill.” The legacy of artistic and political engagement continues today through annual events and festivals such as:
The Clearwater Festival – A folk music and environmental festival held at Croton Point Park
Summerfest – A local celebration of music, food, and art
The Harry Chapin Run Against Hunger – A community-run 10k that supports anti-hunger initiatives
The Great Jack O’Lantern Blaze – An iconic Halloween pumpkin display at Van Cortlandt Manor
Croton-on-Hudson is a paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. The village features a vast array of parks, preserves, and historic sites:
Croton Point Park – A 508-acre park on a Hudson River peninsula
Van Cortlandt Manor – A National Historic Landmark at the mouth of the Croton River
Brinton Brook Sanctuary – 156 acres of trails and bird habitats
Croton Landing Park – A scenic walkway and 9/11 memorial
Silver Lake Park, Black Rock Park, and Paradise Island Park – Offering access to riverside beaches, fishing, and hiking
Whether you're hiking through the Jane E. Lytle Memorial Arboretum or enjoying the riverfront at Senasqua Park, it’s clear that Croton-on-Hudson is a community deeply connected to its environment.
