Yorktown, NY, near Curry Toyota in Cortlandt Manor, NY
Curry Toyota in Cortlandt Manor, NY, attracts customers from a number of surrounding cities and communities seeking new and used cars, including Yorktown, NY. A town of 36,081 residents, according to the 2010 U.S. Census, Yorktown lies at the northern border of Westchester County in New York, and is roughly an hour from New York City.
Yorktown grew from property purchased from the Native Americans that first inhabited the land by Stephanus Van Cortlandt in order to establish the Manor of Cortlandt, which was granted by King William III. Years after Van Cortlandt's death, the property was divided among his heirs, and as time passed, people began to move and settle in the area. Following the Revolutionary War, the area was named Yorktown, commemorating the battle at Yorktown, Virginia in 1781. | |

Following the turn of the 20th Century, both Yorktown's community, as well as its economy, began to evolve and develop. Yorktown is home to the time's largest tree nursery in the country, Amawalk Nursery, which provided the White House with its first living Christmas tree. Along a similar vein, Yorktown's Mohegan Quarry, provided the granite that was used to build the Cathedral of St. John the Divine, which is located in New York City. The community continued to grow after World War II, although it has slowed lately, as the local community takes city planning into consideration.
Important landmarks in Yorktown include Thomas J. Watson Research Center, which serves as the headquarters for IBM's Research Division, as well as the headquarters for Guiding Eyes for the Blind, an accredited school for guide dog training. Notable figures who call Yorktown home include Nargis Fakhri, a Bollywood actress; Mike Larkin, a professional golfer; singer and songwriter Dave Matthews, who lived in Yorktown prior to moving to Virginia; William Keepers Maxwell, Jr., a novelist and editor for The New Yorker; and Buster Olney, a baseball analyst for ESPN. Yorktown also hosts the annual Greasestock festival, which exhibits alternative fuel that has been developed for vehicles. | |
