Elmsford is a close-knit and dynamic village in Westchester County, and we’re honored to support the legal needs of this vibrant community.
Located in the heart of Westchester County, Elmsford is a small but active village, fully situated within the town of Greenburgh. With a population of 5,239 as of the 2020 census, Elmsford spans just over one square mile in area, yet boasts a rich history, diverse culture, and growing commercial presence. It is conveniently positioned within the New York metropolitan area, making it a desirable home for commuters and families alike.
Elmsford’s charm lies in its ability to maintain a sense of small-town community while being strategically located near major highways and urban centers like White Plains, Yonkers, and New York City. The village offers an ideal balance of residential living, business opportunity, and historical significance.
Elmsford has a colorful history dating back to colonial times. Originally referred to as "Storm's Bridge" and later "Hall’s Corners", the area was predominantly farmland until the arrival of the railroad in the late 19th century transformed its economic landscape. In 1870, the village received its current name, inspired by a majestic elm tree that once stood tall in the area.
A unique local legend claims Elmsford to be the birthplace of the cocktail, with tales of colonial tavern patrons using rooster feathers to stir drinks. While the truth of that story remains debatable, it adds a touch of personality and folklore to the village’s narrative.
Elmsford was officially incorporated in 1910, and much of its development centered around the New York and Putnam Railroad station, which served the community until passenger rail service ceased in 1958. Today, that historical railway has been repurposed as the South County Trailway and North County Trailway, serving pedestrians and cyclists while preserving the legacy of Elmsford’s rail era.
Elmsford is proud of its ethnically and culturally diverse population. According to the 2010 census, the village had a population of 4,664, with significant representation from various racial and ethnic backgrounds. Approximately 38% of residents identify as Hispanic or Latino, alongside 46.4% White, 20.5% African American, and 10.5% Asian populations.
The village's median age is 35.1 years, indicating a relatively young and active community. Households average 2.88 individuals, with many families and young professionals calling Elmsford home. The median household income is $74,069, and the median family income is $84,698, reflecting a working- and middle-class demographic invested in family, education, and economic stability.
Elmsford is exceptionally well-connected. While it no longer operates its own train station, residents benefit from nearby access to Metro-North Railroad stations at Tarrytown and White Plains, providing easy commutes into Manhattan and other destinations.
The village is also situated near major roadways, including Interstate 287, the Sprain Brook Parkway, Saw Mill River Parkway, and Route 9A, making travel by car fast and efficient. Public transit is available via several Bee-Line Bus System routes, which provide daily connectivity to surrounding towns and cities.
Though compact in size, Elmsford offers a wide range of services and amenities:
Public Schools: Elmsford is served by the Elmsford Union Free School District, which includes Dixson Primary School, Alice E. Grady Elementary, and Alexander Hamilton Junior/Senior High School. Some areas also fall under the Greenburgh Central School District.
Parks and Recreation: Carol Nichols Park, dedicated in 1996, features facilities for softball, basketball, tennis, and a Sprinkler Park for children. The North and South County Trailways offer safe, scenic paths for walking, running, and biking.
Fire & Emergency Services: The Elmsford Fire Department is an all-volunteer force operating two stations and several engines and ladders. Elmsford EMS and Town of Greenburgh EMS provide reliable emergency medical care.
Animal Welfare: Elmsford has long been home to animal rescue organizations, most notably Paws Crossed Animal Rescue, which continues to serve the village’s needs for pet adoption and care.
While Elmsford lost a cultural treasure in 2020 with the closure of the Westchester Broadway Theater, the village’s sense of community and commitment to culture continue to thrive.
