Ardsley-on-Hudson is located in the municipality of Irvington in the southwestern part of Westchester County, NY. Irvington borders the Hudson River.
Early in the 1850's, Irvington began to attract wealthy residents from New York City. Irvington's beautiful views of the Hudson and its rural setting enticed many people to build large summer residences.
The Village of Irvington was incorporated April 16, 1872. The territory of the village was part of the Bissightick track of the Van der Donck grant purchased by Frederick Phillipse in 1682. In 1817, Justice Dearman bought half of William Dutcher's farm and lived there until 1848 when it was sold to Gustavo F. Sanchi. In the same year, it was sold to John Jay, grandson of Justice John Jay, who arranged for it to be laid out in lots as the Village of Dearman. The lots were sold at public auction in New York City in 1850; the village of "Dearman" was formed.
In 1854, "Dearman," by popular vote, changed its name to "Irvington," honoring its beloved citizen, Washington Irvington, author of "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow" and "Rip Van Winkle." Works by Louis Comfort Tiffany, who also lived here, can be seen in the town hall, library and the Irvington Presbyterian Church.

A Brief History
Eight years after the founding of the Village of Irvington, the first order of business was to permanently organize a hose and engine company. On April 18, 1880, the Irvington Fire Association No. 1 was organized and had a roster of 38 men.
On Aug. 5, 1880, a hand-drawn fire engine was purchased for $372. A jumper, hose and three trumpets were purchase from E.V. Leverich for $151. A two-story wood framed building at the North end of North Ferris Street was rented and became the first firehouse.
The first fire alarms were sounded by a cry of “FIRE”, usually by the village constable, who was also the town lamplighter. Shortly after the equipment was housed in quarters, a large iron ring was hung outside the building and pounded to summon firefighters...
The Irvington Fire Department has had three homes in its first 125 years... Several meetings afterward, the Board finally selected a site that was village-owned, at 90 Main Street and work on the new home of the Fire Department started on January 27, 1964. On the first weekend of October, apparatus and equipment was moved into the new building and on Sept. 4, 1965, the building was formally dedicated, and remains their home today. Today, the fire bell used early in the department’s life has a place of honor in the front of the firehouse among the flowerbeds by the front door.

The Irvington Public Library is located at 12 South Astor Street, Irvington-on-Hudson, NY 10533. The first Irvington Public Library was established in the mid-19th century by an interested group of Irvington residents. It was located in "the little red schoolhouse." The schoolhouse library evolved into the short-lived Irvington Free Library, which later became the Atheneum.
In the late 1990s, the Library Board concluded that a new library was essential for more space, better access for those with disabilities and to support new technologies. On January 28th, 2000, the library officially opened in its new quarters at the historic Burnham Building. The new library is three times the size of the old one and is a wonderful mixture of old and new architecture.

The Irvington Town Hall Theater is located at 85 Main Street, Irvington, New York 10533. The Irvington Town Hall Theater was built in 1902 in the Classic Revival Style. Designed by A. J. Manning and patterned after the Ford Theater in Washington, DC, the Theater is a multipurpose concert hall/music theater located on the entire third floor of Town Hall in downtown Irvington, New York. The 432-seat theater features an orchestra, mezzanine, balcony and six charming gold leafed boxes, a proscenium stage and thrust complete with five backstage dressing rooms. Theater patrons sit in intimate ambiance. Gleaming white columns and Ionic capitals set off the warm ivory interior. The walls are wainscoted in warm oak. Victorian chandeliers and sconces were copied from the originals, during the restoration to its original elegance in 1980. A plush red stage curtain and a forty-two foot high skylight complete the setting. Architecturally significant, the Theater is listed on the national Register of Historic Places.
With pleasing proportions and marvelous acoustics, the Theater has been touted as “one of the finest municipal halls in eastern New York State” by Alvah French History of Westchester County, “A jewel of a theater on the Hudson” by Robert Sherman New York Times and “Acoustically superb” by Lou Cevetillo Opera Critic Gannett Newspapers.

The Irvington Union Free School District is located at 40 North Broadway, Irvington, NY 10533 in Westchester County. Irvington is located approximately 23 miles north of mid-Manhattan where it enjoys impressive frontage views of the Hudson River. Washington Irving, for whom it is named, called it "a beautiful spot, capable of being made a little paradise".
The Irvington School District includes the
Village of Irvington, a portion of southern Tarrytown, and part of the unincorporated areas of Greenburgh
. The district is bordered on the north by Route 119, on the south by the village of Dobbs Ferry, on the west by the Hudson River, and on the east by the Saw Mill River Parkway. The Irvington School District is comprised of the following four schools:
Dows Lane Elementary School (K-3) in Irvington (914) 591-6012

The District has long enjoyed a stable population base of approximately 7,000, with large numbers of Irvington's long-time residents choosing different housing within the community rather than moving to other communities.

Rosh Pinah is an egalitarian chavurah which follows the practices of Conservative Judaism. It is a fellowship of Jews who wish to daven (pray) and congregate in an atmosphere of respect, joy, warmth, camaraderie and trust. The Chavurah invites anyone interested to join us for services. The Chavurah is very participatory. Its members conduct services, read Torah, serve as gabbayim (service 'helpers'), prepare the drashot (Torah commentary or sermons) and the food. We will be interested in trying different activities that will enrich our services. The Chavurah wants everyone to have a stake in its development and a hand in its success.

to enlarge photo of Scenic Hudson Park at Irvington.
The transformation of Irvington's waterfront is one of Scenic Hudson's most dramatic success stories. This former industrial site is now a peaceful riverfront oasis just 12 miles north of New York City. At this site, 12-acres of contaminated soil and blacktop along the Hudson River have been transformed into a public park with views of the Manhattan skyline, Palisades and Tappan Zee Bridge.
The Scenic Hudson Land Trust saved the land from proposed residential development. The restoration and creation of the park was achieved through a partnership involving our land trust, the Village of Irvington and New York State. Today, the park is managed by the Village of Irvington Parks and Recreation Department.
