History of Pound Ridge NY
The name Pound Ridge is derived from an animal pound (a walled compound), that was situated on one of the area’s many ridges. It was first used by local Siwanoy Indians to corral deer. Later, settlers in the 1700s used the pound to keep sheep, cows and pigs from roaming freely. Pound Ridge was originally settled in 1640's as part of a tract of land purchased from Siwanoy Indians by Captain Nathanial Turner, and it was officially incorporated in 1788.
