*We have not included many of the hundreds of neighborhoods throughout the county, nor historical place names no longer in use. We also omitted those associated with the cities. The best resource on this subject is Richard Lederer’s The Place Names of Westchester County, which is available for research through the Westchester County Historical Society at www.westchesterhistory.com. Lederer’s book is also found at public libraries in Westchester.
