1898 INCORPORATION
Most of the homes built in the 1860's and 70's have since given way
to other construction. An important exception is Dogwood Cottage
which was built in 1870 by Francis Bacon, a New York City piano
manufacturer. Shortly after Bronxville’s incorporation as a
separate Village in April 1898, Bacon, as the first Village
President (today Mayor), hosted the first meeting of the Village
Trustees at his home. More than a century later, Bronxville
continues to be governed by local residents who serve as unpaid
Trustees and Mayor.
