Scarborough, often called Scarborough-on-Hudson because it borders the Hudson River, is an {{convert|0.45|sqmi|km2|adj=on}} unincorporated district divided between Briarcliff Manor and the village of Ossining, with most of the area within Briarcliff Manor and a few streets in the village of Ossining. Briarcliff Manor's portion of Scarborough was annexed into the village in 1906.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=44}} The boundary between Scarborough and the rest of the village is roughly along Old Briarcliff and Sleepy Hollow Roads. The area was settled prior to the Revolutionary War. Around that time, the area included a tavern and inn at corner of Albany Post Road and Scarborough Station Road and a blacksmith shop where the Scarborough Presbyterian Church stands today. Scarborough was named after early settler William Kemey's [[Scarborough, North Yorkshire|town in England]]. A cove in Scarborough is named after him.<ref name="SEChistory"/>

Scarborough is largely residential, and has some of the most expensive houses in the village, due in part to its proximity to the Hudson. Condominium complexes within Scarborough include Kemeys Cove, built in 1974, and Scarborough Manor, a 7-story, 205-unit complex built in the 1960s.<ref name="NYTScarborough"/> The hamlet has a post office and a [[Scarborough (Metro-North station)|station]] on the Metro-North [[Hudson Line (Metro-North)|Hudson Line]] within walking distance of most houses in the hamlet.<ref name="NYTScarborough"/> Unlike most of Briarcliff Manor, Scarborough is within the [[Ossining Union Free School District]]. During the 17th century, Scarborough became one of the first trading posts for the Dutch on the Hudson. During the early 20th century, the [[Astor family|Astor]], [[Rockefeller family|Rockefeller]], and [[Vanderbilt family|Vanderbilt]] families entertained guests on their river-view country estates in the Scarborough area. The [[Scarborough Historic District]], including the Scarborough Presbyterian Church, is on the [[National Register of Historic Places]]. Across the street from the church is [[Sparta Cemetery]], containing graves of local Revolutionary War veterans and the [[Leatherman (vagabond)|Leatherman]]. A notable building on the register is [[Beechwood (Vanderlip mansion)|Beechwood]], built in 1780 and considered one of the finest examples of [[Federal architecture]] in Westchester County.<ref name="1952history"/>{{rp|page=8}}<ref name="pamphlet"/> Beechwood was later purchased by [[Frank A. Vanderlip]], who constructed the [[Scarborough School]] on the estate. The school was founded in 1913,<ref name="Worden Historic District"/> and closed in 1978. Holly Hill is a notable house nearby. Hubert Rogers, a New York City attorney, had the house designed around 1927 by [[William Adams Delano]]; Rogers named it Weskora. After his death [[Brooke Astor]] purchased the estate, renaming it Holly Hill for its holly trees.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|pages=116–7}} Directly across from Holly Hill is the site used for the U.S. headquarters of Philips Research from 1965 to 2015, built on part of Waldheim, the former {{convert|130|acre|ha|adj=on}} estate of [[James Speyer]].<ref name="PhilipsMoving"/><ref name="PhilipsMoved"/><ref name="Speyer"/>
