==History== Greenburgh developed along the Hudson River, long the main transportation route. It was settled by northern Europeans in its early years, primarily of Dutch and English descent. Residents were active during the [[American Revolutionary War]]. The [[Romer-Van Tassel House]] served as the first town hall, from 1793 into the early 19th century.<ref name="nrhpinv_ny">{{cite web|url=http://www.oprhp.state.ny.us/hpimaging/hp_view.asp?GroupView=10432|title=National Register of Historic Places Registration:Romer-Van Tassel House|date=August 1994|access-date=December 24, 2010|author=John A.
