Chilmark (also known as Chilmark Park) is an unincorporated residential community of about {{convert|300|acre|ha}}, established in 1930, in northern Briarcliff Manor. The neighborhood was designed with Underhill Road as its main thoroughfare, running north–south.<ref name="OssSites"/> It was named after the village of [[Chilmark, Wiltshire|Chilmark]], England, the birthplace and early home of [[Thomas Macy]] (an ancestor of [[Valentine Everit Macy]]), who arrived in the colonies in 1635. The area is culturally significant for its association with the Macy family, whose members were active in New York and Westchester County during the 19th and early 20th centuries. Valentine Everit Macy and his wife, Edith Carpenter Macy, founded the community and aided in its development; Macy purchased several small family farms in present Chilmark in 1897.<ref name="OssSites"/> In 1925, Macy donated {{convert|265|acre|ha}} on Old Chappaqua Road for the first national Girl Scout camp, which later became the [[Edith Macy Conference Center]], a conference and training facility owned and operated by the [[Girl Scouts of the USA]].<ref name="glassglory"/> The Briarcliff Recreation Center was formerly the private Chilmark Club until the 1970s, when the village purchased the land for a recreation center and adjoining park. Macy's residence in the area was the Chilmark estate, a Tudor-style stone and stucco mansion built in 1896 with a nine-hole golf course. The neighborhood hosts Briarcliff Manor's [[Conservative Judaism|Conservative]] temple Congregation Sons of Israel.<ref name="pamphlet"/>

Chilmark features landscaped, winding roads designed to blend with the topography, access to transportation (including a commuter rail line and a highway and homes built in [[Revivalism (architecture)|revival]] styles echoing Tudor and Gothic architecture; it is architecturally significant as an example of early-20th-century suburban design.<ref name="OssSites"/> During the 1920s Macy's son, V.E. Macy Jr., founded the Chilmark Park Realty Corporation to sell land parcels. When he began marketing the area, he renovated or demolished existing homes to lend an air of development and built a private {{convert|8.3|acre|ha|adj=on}} [[country club]] for use by Chilmark residents. The village of Briarcliff Manor later purchased the site, and operates it as Chilmark Park. To denote its development as an exclusive neighborhood, Macy planted distinctive shade trees along Underhill Road. Since its founding, additional homes have been built in Chilmark, most between 1955 and 1960.<ref name="Changing Landscape"/>{{rp|page=146}} The developments expanded the area beyond its original {{convert|300|acre|ha}}; it presently comprises Underhill Road and the streets immediately adjacent to it.<ref name="OssSites"/>
