    History of Chappaqua NY

In 1609 when Henry Hudson arrived, the Mahicanni (Mahicans) Indians dominated the area currently known as Westchester County.  Nathaniel Turner purchased parts of New Castle in 1640 from Ponas Sagamore, ruling chief of the Siwanoy. In 1661 John Richbell purchased another large tract of land in New Castle also from the Siwanoy Indians.    In the early 1730s a group of Quakers moved north from Purchase, NY, to settle in the present-day Chappaqua. The name originated from the Native Americans word  "shah-pah-ka,"  which means a place where nothing is heard but the rustling of the wind in the leaves.   The quakers spelled it Shapiqua, Shapaqua, Shapequa, Shappaqua, and, finally, Chappaqua.

Stone masonry is designed to endure. With Gerety Building & Restoration, you get not only construction and masonry work that lasts, but a trusting relationship as well.
