==History==
The region that includes the contemporary village of Bronxville was deeded to British colonists in 1666, but first settled by Europeans in the early 18th century. The two founding inhabitants were the [[Underhill (surname)|Underhill]] and [[Morgan family|Morgan]] families. The Underhills built a [[sawmill]] and a [[gristmill]], which was the first factory in the area, on the [[Bronx River]]. After they built a wooden bridge, the area became known as Underhill's Crossing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.villageofbronxville.com/sites/bronxvilleny/files/file/file/photohistoryofbronxville_printablepdf.pdf|title=Photo History of Bronxville|website=Village of Bronxville|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180303110653/http://www.villageofbronxville.com/sites/bronxvilleny/files/file/file/photohistoryofbronxville_printablepdf.pdf|archive-date=March 3, 2018|url-status=live|access-date=August 8, 2018}}</ref>

Millionaire real-estate and pharmaceutical mogul [[William Van Duzer Lawrence]] sparked the development of Bronxville as an affluent suburb of [[New York City]] by building grand homes in a rustic setting.<ref name="BSV">{{cite book|title=Building A Suburban Village|author=Eloise L. Morgan|author2=Mary Means Muber|year=1998|isbn=0-9664360-0-8|pages=12–16}}</ref> The area became "Bronxville" when the village was formally established. The population grew in the second half of the 19th century when railroads enabled commuters from Westchester County to work in New York City.<ref name="BSV" /> Lawrence's influence can be seen throughout the community, including the historic [[Lawrence Park Historic District|Lawrence Park]] neighborhood, the Houlihan Lawrence Real Estate Corporation, and [[Lawrence Hospital]].

The village was home to an [[Art colony|arts colony]] in the early 20th century, when many noteworthy houses were built by prominent and casual architects.<ref>Morgan pp. 29-30</ref> After the [[Bronx River Parkway]] was completed in 1925, the village expanded rapidly with the construction of several apartment buildings and townhouses, many of them built by the Lawrence family. As of 1959, the family continued to own or manage 97% of the rental market.<ref name=c59>{{cite news|url=https://www.commentarymagazine.com/articles/gentlemens-agreement-in-bronxvillethe-holy-square-mile/|title=Gentlemen's Agreement in Bronxville: The 'Holy Square Mile'|date=February 1, 1959|access-date=May 18, 2016|work=[[Commentary (magazine)|Commentary]]|author=Harry Gersh}}</ref>

The Gramatan Hotel on Sunset Hill was a residence hotel in the late 19th century and early 20th century.<ref name=hotel>Morgan pp. 60-64</ref> Gramatan was the name of the chief of the local [[Siwanoy]] Indian tribe that was centered in the Gramatan Rock area above [[Bronxville (Metro-North station)|Bronxville Station]]. Chief Gramatan sold the land to the settlers. The hotel was demolished in 1972, and a complex of townhouses was built on the site in 1980.<ref name=hotel/>

Elizabeth Clift Bacon, General [[George Armstrong Custer]]'s widow, lived in Bronxville, and her house still stands to this day.<ref name="Westchester History">{{cite web|title=Elizabeth Custer|url=http://www.westchesterhistory.com/index.php/exhibits/people?display=custer|website=www.westchesterhistory.com/|access-date=October 29, 2014}}</ref><ref>Morgan pp. 26-33</ref>

[[Church of St. Joseph (Bronxville)|St. Joseph's Catholic Church]], located in the downtown area, was attended by [[Kennedy family|the Kennedys]] when they were residents from 1929 to about 1938 before moving to [[London]];<ref>{{cite book|title=Around Bronxville|first=Marilynn  |last=Wood Hill|pages=98–100|year=1999|isbn=978-0752408163|publisher=Arcadia Pub}}</ref> [[Edward Kennedy]] returned to St. Joseph's in 1958 for his wedding to Joan Bennett. Two years later, in the [[1960 United States Presidential Election|1960 Presidential Election]] voters in the Village overwhelmingly chose [[Richard Nixon]] over Edward's brother, [[John F. Kennedy|John]], by a 5-to-1 margin.<ref>Morgan p. 316</ref>

The [[United States Post Office (Bronxville, New York)|US Post Office–Bronxville]] was listed on the [[National Register of Historic Places]] in 1988.

==Postal code==
Bronxville's 10708 [[ZIP Code]] covers the village of Bronxville proper, plus Chester Heights and other sections of Eastchester, parts of [[Tuckahoe, Westchester County, New York|Tuckahoe]], and Lawrence Park West, [[Cedar Knolls, New York|Cedar Knolls]], [[Armour Villa, Yonkers|Armour Villa]], and other sections of [[Yonkers, New York|Yonkers]]. These areas are collectively known as "Bronxville P.O."<ref>{{cite web |title=10708 Zip Code |url=http://www.usa.com/10708-ny.htm |publisher=usa.com |access-date=October 29, 2014}}</ref> This brings the ZIP Code's population to 22,411 (2000 census), covering an area more than twice as large as the municipality of Bronxville itself and encompassing several institutions, including [[Sarah Lawrence College]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=10708 Zip Code Detailed Profile |url=http://www.city-data.com/zips/10708.html|website=www.city-data.com/ |access-date=October 29, 2014}}</ref><ref name="NY Times">{{Cite news |last=Gross |first=Jane |date=May 28, 2000 |title=County Lines; The Lure of a Bronxville Address |url=https://www.nytimes.com/2000/05/28/nyregion/county-lines-the-lure-of-a-bronxville-address.html |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |access-date=October 29, 2014}}</ref> Many of the residential properties located within Bronxville PO are within walking distance of Bronxville's downtown, but are officially within the municipal boundaries of the City of Yonkers. As such, residents of these areas do not pay Village of Bronxville property taxes, but cannot take advantage of the Village of Bronxville's nationally-recognized, elite public school system. 

These neighborhoods remain popular with families not requiring schooling for children, or who intend to send their children to private schools, such as those in Riverdale, Bronx, or religious schools in Yonkers or Bronxville. 

That said, the Yonkers Public school system has demonstrated dramatic improvement in student outcomes over the past two decades, and elementary schools located in Bronxville PO (and the neighboring Tuckahoe PO neighborhood of Yonkers) are more highly rated than many in Yonkers.

All said, the greater Bronxville area comprises a larger population of more mixed income residents that is also more ethically and religiously diverse than those living within the Village itself. Many of Bronxville's downtown businesses rely on customers from these nearby neighborhoods, and many Bronxville business owners also live in neighboring Yonkers.

==Education==

Bronxville was home to [[Concordia College (New York)|Concordia College]], a [[liberal arts college]] operated by the [[Lutheran Church–Missouri Synod]].

==Parks and recreation==
[[Image:Bville river.jpg|thumb|right|The Bronx River]]

The Village of Bronxville has more than {{convert|70|acre|m2}} of parkland including athletic fields, woodlands, and a very small part of the [[Bronx River]] Parkway Reservation. The Reservation, Westchester’s oldest park, was created as an adjunct to the [[Bronx River Parkway]] that opened in 1925, and was the first linear park in the United States. The Reservation features ponds, wooden footbridges and hundreds of varieties of native trees and shrubs. The park is owned by Westchester County, and it is a favorite place for bicycling, walking, running, and nature study.  It is sometimes referred to by locals as the "Duck Pond".

The Bronxville School's athletic fields contain a football field, three smaller fields used for various sports like field hockey and lacrosse, and a running track (which is only 380 meters in Lane 1 because of space issues). Bacon Woodlands, located on Kensington Road, is a natural rock outcropping which has been left in its natural state, the flatter portion of which is used as an informal play area by children. Scout Field, a Westchester County Park which is located predominantly in Yonkers and [[Mount Vernon, New York|Mount Vernon]] but is controlled by Bronxville, is heavily utilized by the Bronxville schools' soccer, football, baseball, and cross-country running programs.<ref>[http://www.villageofbronxville.com/sube2_history13.htm Village of Bronxville website] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121111030818/http://www.villageofbronxville.com/sube2_history13.htm |date=November 11, 2012 }}</ref> In 2006, Chambers Field was replaced with turf, which was funded by the community and parents of athletes in Bronxville.
