West Harrison NY

This small community within the city of White Plains was originally open farmland used by the Weckquaeskeck tribe of Native Americans. The towering balsam trees that filled the area at the time is said to be the origin of the name of the overarching city. Others suggest that the name is due to the pervasive mists that were often found over swampland adjacent to the Bronx River. The first Europeans to settle the area would arrive in 1683. These settlers, Puritans from Connecticut, would purchase 4,400 acres from the local tribe.

This led to a conflict over proper ownership of the land due to a previous purchase made by John Richbell that would ultimately be resolved by the intercession of King George II. As part of the White Plains community West Harrison, NY played an important role in the Battle of White Plains during the Revolutionary War. It would remain militarily relevant thanks to the positioning of missile silos here during the Cold War. This area has also served as home to a variety of notable individuals in American history, among them being Amelia Earhart. Her flight across the Atlantic is memorialized with a bronze propeller that can be found attached to a stone in a small park near her ancestral home. Fans of Everybody Loves Raymond would also recognize the name of Rick Marotta, responsible for composing and playing drums on its theme song.
