Local Area Information:
Katonah is named for Chief Katonah, an American Indian from whom the land of Bedford was purchased by a group of English colonists. Founded with the name Whitlockville, the town changed its name, and later was moved to its present site in 1897, when its former site (Old Katonah) was flooded by the construction of the Cross River Reservoir. More than fifty buildings were moved from the old site to New Katonah, pulled by horses along timber tracks. The move was originally ordered to start in 1894, but litigation delayed the process by almost three years.
The surrounding countryside includes the John Jay Homestead, the former home of John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the US Supreme Court. The Harvey School, a private day school which offers 5 day boarding founded in the 19th Century, which counts among its alumni "Doonesbury" cartoonist Garry Trudeau, Martha Stewart also lives in Katonah, just down the road from the John Jay estate.
Katonah is often styled as a "village" by its residents. For example, its library is called the Katonah Village Library. However, "village" has a legal meaning in New York. Katonah is not a village, but merely a hamlet, a non-legally-defined section of a town.
