The first European explorers to visit Westchester were Giovanni da Verrazzano in 1524 and Henry Hudson in 1609. European settlers were initially sponsored by the Dutch West India Company in the 1620s and 1630s. English settlers arrived from New England in the 1640s. By 1664, the Dutch lost control of the County to the English and large tracts of Westchester were established as manors (held by a single proprietor) or patents (jointly held by partners). The lords of the manors and patents leased land to tenant farmers and provided many essential services to the tenants.
Westchester County was an original county of the Province of New York, one of twelve created by an act of the New York General Assembly in 1683. At the time it also included present day Bronx County, which constituted the original Town of Westchester (the center of which was around the area today known as Westchester Square, in the Bronx) and portions of Yonkers, Eastchester, and Pelham.
