Rye Brook

The Community

Rye Brook can trace its history to the earliest days of the American colonies.  In 1660 settlers from Greenwich, Connecticut, negotiated a treaty with Chief Shanarockwell of the Mohican tribe and named the area Rye after the town in East Sussex, England, the home of some of the colonists.  Settled in 1660, the 3.5 square mile village of Rye Brook was incorporated in 1982 as a separate village within the Town of Rye.  Its 9,570 residents enjoy tree-lined residential quietude on the Westchester County border, adjacent to Greenwich Connecticut.  Rye Brook is a 35-minute train ride to Grand Central Station and within close commuting distance of White Plains and Stamford by car or train.  Westchester County Airport, situated in Rye Brook, provides supremely convenient air travel.  Employment within Rye Brook abounds, as it is home to a broad range of retail, professional and service-oriented businesses which include the Rye Town Hilton, Arrowwood Resort and Conference Center and The Royal Executive Corporate Park.
