Eastchester was settled in 1664, one of Westchester’s earliest communities. It then included parts of today’s north Bronx and all of Mount Vernon. In 1892 Mount Vernon became a city, and by 1898 the area south of Mount Vernon became part of the Bronx. Eastchester today includes two incorporated villages – Bronxville (1898) and Tuckahoe (1903) – as well as a large unincorporated area.
