Founded in 1696 by Quaker John Harrison, the Town of Harrison occupies 22 square miles in southern Westchester County, approximately 23 miles northeast of New York City. With the advent of the railroad in 1870, the town became a favorite country and summer retreat for wealthy New Yorkers. Today, Harrison has a population of 24,500, including 2,000 residing in the beautiful Hamlet of Purchase, yet it still retains a rural country atmosphere. Acres of green rolling land interspersed with brooks, streams and lakes surround pretty village neighborhoods and some of the country's most magnificent estates.
