5 Bedroom Homes for Sale in Katonah, NY

The story of this Bedford hamlet in Northern Westchester begins in 1897 when New York City’s reservoirs forced the village of Whitlock Station to move a mile south. Though the new town was made up of many of the exact same houses (transported whole or in pieces by horse and wagon), it was given a different name: Katonah (after the chief who sold the settlers the land). Unlike many other villages in the area, residents banned commercial warehouses and factories, and a resistance to chain stores persists within the tight-knit community to this day.
