History

The area that is now the town in Mamaroneck was purchased from Native American chief Wappaquewam and his brother Manhatahan of the Siwanoy tribe in 1661.

The Town of MamarOneck is divided into three parts. The Village of Larchmont, an unincorporated area, and the Village of Mamroneck, the rest of that village being in the town of Rye, were formed in the 1890s to meet the growing demand for municipal services that the town could not provide. By definition at the time, a town could only provide basic government functions such as organizing and supervising elections, administering judicial functions, and constructing and maintaining highways. After World War I, the State Legislature granted the town government the local powers to provide local services it had previously granted to the villages by charter.
