Katonah is one of three unincorporated hamlets located within the town of Bedford in Westchester County in the Hudson Valley. It was named for Chief Katonah, from whom the land of Bedford was purchased by a group of English colonists. Founded with the name Whitlockville, the town changed its name and moved to its present site in 1897, when its former site was flooded by the construction of the Cross River Reservoir. Downtown Katonah is known to be a chic part of the town of Bedford and is filled with many historical Victorian structures and dozens of upscale stores and eateries. The other hamlets in the town include Bedford Village and Bedford Hills. Katonah’s historic district is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and encompasses the Bedford Road area, a section of the hamlet designed by landscape architects, G.S. and B.S. Olmstead. The hamlet also has an excellent library and several cultural attractions including the Katonah Museum of Art, Caramoor Center for Music and Arts, and John Jay Homestead, retirement home of John Jay, first chief justice of the United States Supreme Court. Cross River Reservoir is located in the northeast part of town and Byram Lake Reservoir is a small lake on the south side. New Croton Reservoir is a lake situated at the western town line.
