Edgemont wasn't always a place of beautiful homes and paved roads. At one time,our area was a collection of many farms. A look at the map above and you will notice four of the main roads that still exist today. All the land west of Fort Hill Road from Ardsley Road north to Underhill Road was owned by four families. Grand Army Road (which was called Tuckahoe Road ) was home to one farm on the east side of the road.
Our town maps and many others are viewable by appointment at the Erskein Dewitt Map Collection at the New York Historical Society. The New York Historical Society is located at 77th street and Central Park West.
