Tarrytown, NY

Tarrytown is a small town located in Westchester County, New York. The population of Tarrytown was 10,821 as of the 2010 census. It is part of the White Plains– New Rochelle metropolitan area.

The town was founded in 1789 and named after John Tarry, a Revolutionary War general. The town's economy has been based on agriculture and manufacturing since its early days. However, the advent of suburbanization in the late 20th century led to a decline in these sectors, and today Tarrytown's main economic drivers are tourism and real estate.

Tarrytown is home to several notable landmarks, including the Beaux-Arts style Tarrytown Museum (founded 1894), which features collections on American art and decorative arts; the Tappan Zee Bridge (opened 1927), one of America's longest suspension bridges; and the Loeb Classical Library (established 1914), one of America's foremost classical libraries.

Real estate in Tarrytown has long been an important part of its economy. Today, it remains one of Westchester County's most popular residential areas, with many well-known estates situated along its scenic Hudson Riverfront. Many luxury homes have also been built in recent years in nearby Sleepy Hollow and Mount Kisco
