Local Government

City of Mount Vernon: 1 Roosevelt Sq; Mount Vernon, NY 10550; 914-665-2360, Mayor; Mount Vernon is a city rich in history and tradition, built on the backs of men and women who worked hard to make this a working wonderful and productive community of homes and people. From its inception, this was a planned community, fashioned from high hopes and modest expectations. The first residents were hard-working people who came up from neighboring New York City seeking a genteel and tranquil way of life away from the tumultuous existence of urban living.

Historic Places

In 1850, John Stevens, a merchant tailor from New York, enthusiastically endeavored to improve the condition of the working class in New York. He believed that the first step was to create a property holding class out of the rent payers. He organized the Industrial Home Association No. 1 of New York. Qualifications for membership were moral character, industrious habits and the desire to promote a common purpose. One thousand and seventeen members paid their dues and the Association bought the land which then became the Village of Mount Vernon. It consisted of five farms with a combined area of 369.089 acres, costing a total of $75,342.88 or roughly $205 per acre. The land extended from what is now Union Avenue on the east to Fifteenth Avenue on the west; and from Valentine Street on the north to Sandford Boulevard and a small portion of Kingsbridge on the south.

Points of Interest

My name is Patrick Lernout. I live in Waregem-Belgium at about one mile from the US Flanders Field military cemetery. I am interested in the history of World War 1, so this cemetery has my special attention. I started to write a book about the soldiers buried here and am looking for information about all those men. I think the book would be a great tribute for those young Americans who gave their lives for the freedom of my country. In the cemetery is buried Frederick Ayers. He was from Mount Vernon (320 Locust Street). His father’s name was also Frederick. Should anyone have information/pictures about him or some history, addresses, etc … ? He was killed in action November 5, 1918. Sometimes a Roll of Honor book of the county was made.
Thank you very much in advance
