Historic Places
Mahopac and Mahopac Falls played an exciting role in the history of Putnam County. Lake Mahopac (Algonquin word for 'the Big Pond') was originally settled by the Wappani (or Wappinger)Indians, one of the Algonquin tribes.
Mahopac Falls originated around a large grist mill which drew
its power from the fast-running stream flowing form Kirk Lake and Lake Mahopac,
near the present-day intersection of Route 6N, Hill Street, and Myrtle Avenue.
At the time, the mill was the largest building in the entire county. Early
colonists included tenant farmers renting from the Philipse family. Since all
of the buildings in the area were painted red, the area was originally called
'Red Mills'.
