Bedford NY History
The Town of Bedford was founded on December 23, 1680 when twenty-two Puritans from Stamford, Connecticut purchased a tract of land three miles square known as the “Hopp Ground” from Chief Katonah and several other Indians for coats, blankets, wampum and cloth. Bedford was made a part of Connecticut in 1697 when a patent fixed the boundaries as a six-mile square and only when King William III of England issued a royal decree in 1700, to settle a boundary dispute, did Bedford became part of New York. Westchester County’s oldest government building is the Court House in Bedford Village, which was built in 1787 and renovated in the 1960s.Bedford NY Landmarks

The old one-room stone schoolhouse; and a few colonial-era houses, still lived in, which are kept painted white with black or green shutters. Also along Route 22, at Hook Road, there is a large 300 year old oak tree known as the Bedford Oak.
