Description
Excerpted from the website:
- Katonah, in Bedford Township, began in pre-Revolutionary days as a row of pioneer homes along Cherry Street, the old Muscota Path of the Indians. They settle Bedford Village in 1680. By 1812 some of the families were moving down to the Cross River, just above its entrance into the Croton, where Wood & Whitlock had set up a mill, and Whitlockville came into being. This was a thriving village in 1847 when the railroad pushed its tracks north and attracted business a scant mile to the east of the village, where in 1852 the new hamlet's name was changed to Katonah in honor of the Indian chief from whom the town's land had been bought.
