In 1848, Walter Brewster solicited the New York and Harlem Railroad to build a train depot on his property. The area around the depot was officially incorporated as a village in 1894. Route 6 runs through the village with Route 202 and Route 22 running along the village's southern boundary and I-84 passing just east of the village at the intersection of I-684.
