Pound Ridge, New York is situated between the Connecticut border and Bedford, and Lewisboro New York. It is one of the oldest settlements in the country, as it was established by Europeans in 1718. Pound Ridge is located in Westchester county, and a large section of the town was originally included in the town of North Castle.

The area boasts a warm community atmosphere where citizens work together to achieve common ends. An organization called Neighbor to Neighbor even volunteers to help the area’s senior citizens when they are in need, and they cooperate with the Recreation Department and the local police department to stage events. In addition, they meet with seniors to discuss programs and to keep the town in the loop for things that affect that population of residents.

The region’s Ambulance Corps hosts free blood pressure testing on a periodic basis, and they always welcome volunteers to help serve the community. The town also hosts a public pool and a park where families can go camping.
