Mamaroneck Town, NY

Mamaroneck is a town in Westchester County, New York, United States. 

The population was 31,758 at the 2020 United States census over 29,156 at the 2010 census. There are two villages contained within the town: Larchmont and the Village of Mamaroneck (part of which is located in the adjacent town of Rye). The majority of the town's land area is not within either village, constituting an unincorporated area, although a majority of the population lives within the villages. Legally, the unincorporated section and the villages constitute the town as a political and governmental subdivision of New York State. The town is led by a town board, composed of five town board members, which includes the town supervisor, Jaine Elkind Eney. 

Much of the unincorporated section of the town receives its mail via the Larchmont Post Office and thereby has a Larchmont address.

The area that is now the town in Mamaroneck was purchased from the Weckquaesgeek Wappaquewam on behalf of Manhatahan "another proprietor" and "by the consent of the other Indians," on September 23, 1661, by an Englishman named John Richbell who was a resident of Oyster Bay LI. During the American Revolutionary War in 1776, a British loyalist, William Lounsbery, was attacked and killed by a group of revolutionaries led by John Flood. Several other skirmishes occurred that year between loyalists and revolutionaries. The New York Legislature created Mamaroneck as a town on March 7, 1788. The Town of Mamaroneck is divided into three parts: the Village of Larchmont, an unincorporated area, and the Village of Mamaroneck, the rest of that village being in the town of Rye.

After World War I, the unincorporated section of the town grew sufficiently that the State Legislature granted the town government the local powers to provide local services it had previously granted to the villages by charter. In 1921, the course at Winged Foot Golf Club was constructed and opened in June 1923. The golf club has been host to several professional tournaments, including the 1997 PGA Championship and the 1929, 1959, 1974, 1984, 2006, and 2020 U.S. Open.
