Nestled on the eastern edge of Westchester County and bordering Connecticut, Lewisboro is a scenic and tranquil town known for its expansive green spaces, colonial charm, and tight-knit residential communities. With a population of 12,265 as of the 2020 Census, Lewisboro is both a quiet refuge from city life and a vibrant community with a deep-rooted history.
The town's origins date back to the mid-18th century. Originally established as "Salem" in 1747, the town later changed its name to South Salem in 1806, and finally became Lewisboro in honor of financier John Lewis, who contributed financially to the town’s development. Though he never followed through with his promise of a railroad, his legacy lives on in the town’s name.
Lewisboro is dotted with dry-stone walls, preserved colonial architecture, and elegant mansions that evoke the area's historical depth. Among the many unique sites in town, Mead Memorial Chapel, listed on the National Register of Historic Places, stands out as a cherished local landmark.
Lewisboro’s colorful past includes figures such as Sarah Bishop, the "Hermit of West Mountain," who retreated to a cave near Lake Rippowam after reportedly suffering at the hands of British soldiers during the Revolutionary War. Another famous character is the Leatherman, a mid-19th century wanderer who roamed the same paths for over two decades, wearing garments fashioned from leather and relying on the kindness of residents. Today, the Leatherman’s Cave in Ward Pound Ridge Reservation remains a favorite hiking destination, and his legacy is celebrated annually in The Leatherman’s Loop, a 10k trail race held each spring.
Lewisboro’s chevron-shaped borders and natural boundaries with Connecticut give it a unique identity among Westchester towns. With 27.9 square miles of land and 1.3 square miles of water, Lewisboro is an outdoor enthusiast’s dream. It offers a variety of lakes, reservoirs, and preserves, making it a sought-after location for families and nature lovers.
Among the most prominent natural features is the Ward Pound Ridge Reservation, the largest park in Westchester County, covering over 4,700 acres. With its extensive trail systems, camping sites, and the Trailside Museum, it serves as both a recreational and educational hub.
Other significant parks include:
Onatru Farm – With sports facilities and hiking trails, it also houses town offices.
Leon Levy Preserve – Acquired in 2006, this 370-acre preserve is home to developing equestrian and hiking trails.
Brownell Preserve, Old Field Preserve, and Fox Valley Park – Offering everything from scenic lake overlooks to sports fields.
Mountain Lakes Camp – Known for its scenic pond views and the famed “Look Out Point” over the Three Lakes region.
Lewisboro is also known for its seven lakes, including Lake Waccabuc, Lake Oscaleta, and Lake Rippowam, often referred to as the “Three Lakes.” These natural bodies of water are central to town recreation and community identity, and in 2007, the town even formed a Lakes Committee to help manage and preserve these vital ecosystems.
Families in Lewisboro are served by the well-respected Katonah-Lewisboro School District, which includes John Jay High School and John Jay Middle School, both located in Cross River. John Jay High School has earned national recognition from Newsweek magazine for academic excellence.
Despite its rural charm, Lewisboro is part of the New York metropolitan area and offers easy access to shopping centers in nearby towns such as Ridgefield, Cross River, Vista, and Golden’s Bridge. Though Lewisboro lacks a central downtown district of its own, its serene neighborhoods and high quality of life make it a desirable residential destination.
