History
Known as Mosier's Fight, a Revolutionary War skirmish took place on December 2, 1781, in the area of present-day Rye Brook: a small force of Westchester County militia commanded by Lieutenant William Mosier successfully repulsed an attack by a much larger British-aligned Loyalist unit of De Lancey's Cowboys. The fight was part of the ongoing, brutal guerrilla warfare between Loyalist and Patriot militias in the Neutral Ground of Westchester County.
In 1982, 150 residents of the unincorporated area proposed to establish the village of Rye Brook and organized a petition containing 1,536 signatures. The petition drive, which contained the signatures of approximately 36% of the registered voters in the unincorporated area, was organized by the Independent Civic Association. It was reported by The New York Times that one resident commented, "There is a time for a community to redefine itself," further stating that residents of the unincorporated area "should be able to elect their own officers" and "protect their tax base."
