Near the Long Island Sound, it borders the town of Greenwich, CT and several other Westchester communities including Rye, Harrison, Port Chester and Purchase. Rye’s heritage dates back to 1640 when colonists from Connecticut purchased the land from Native Americans of the Siwanoy Nation. The colonists who settled here named it after Rye in Sussex, England, their former home. Eventually, the communities within the town of Rye established themselves as four separate municipalities, including Port Chester, Mamaroneck, Rye Neck and Rye Brook, which remained the last unincorporated area until it became a village, and Westchester’s newest municipality, in 1982.
Careful developmental planning preserves Rye Brook’s small-town character, its open green areas and its residents’ quality of life. There is a high level of community involvement in local government, volunteer organizations, youth sports and recreational activities. Several large corporations provide support for the school tax base.
