Having experienced a renaissance in recent years,
Katonah has become a sought-after area. Katonah is part of the
township of Bedford, although many of its residents feel that they
have a town of their own. As you stroll through the business section
of town, the abundance of artistic shops, evoke the feeling of Santa
Fe without the tourist crowd. Across the street is a quaint train
station with a one hour commute to Manhattan. Meticulously
maintained antique Victorian homes surround the village. Much of the
area's picturesque beauty can be attributed to the well known
landscapers G.S. and B.S. Olmstead.
Along with its unique personality, Katonah also
claims a remarkable history. In the 1890's, the city of New York
decided to create a reservoir which would help satisfy its growing
demand for water and unfortunately engulf the community of Katonah.
Determined not to see their close-knit community be destroyed, the
citizens of Katonah marshaled the resources to move their homes to a
safe haven. Using large teams of horses and wood tracks, they moved
approximately fifty houses to their present location in modern
Katonah.
