About Pelham

Pelham is a small Westchester County village and town just north of the Bronx, known for its commuter access and compact suburban feel. Its history reaches back to Thomas Pell's 1654 purchase from the Siwanoy, which created the old Manor of Pelham. Today the village is home to many New York City commuters, with schools, local shops, and Metro-North access shaping daily life. Pelham feels close-in and village-scaled, with city access just beyond a leafy residential setting.
