About Mamaroneck History
At MamaroneckHistory.org you will find descriptions, photographs and other resources pertaining to the early history of Mamaroneck Town and its two villages, Larchmont and Mamaroneck. The site is maintained by residents who aim to discover and share what they have learned. Currently, the site hosts two major projects: Slavery in Mamaroneck Township and Mamaroneck Township in the Civil War. Both are led by John Jay College Professor Ned Benton, a member of the Larchmont Historical Society.
