Hart's Corners, formerly Barne's Corners, is another small hamlet in Greenburgh, situated about three miles south of White Plains, in a fine valley, the neighborhood of which is rendered extremely beautiful by the inequality of the ground and surrounding scenery. The settlement is composed of one church, several dwellings and stores. The Bronx River Powder Manufactory, and Railroad depot adjoin it on the east. This place derives its name from Robert Hart, of Rye, who emigrated hither sometime during the Manorial period, and in 1784, purchased of the Commissioners of Forfeitures, 600 acres of the Phillipsburgh lands, for which tradition says he gave one shilling per acre. His sons were John, Monmouth, Isaac and Joshua. Monmouth owned 300 acres at old Hart's Corners.

A fine line of hills extend south from Hart's Corners to the foot of Thirty Deer ridge in Yonkers, watered on the east and west by the two branches of the Spraine, called by the Indians Armenperal. These hills were formerly so covered with thick woods as to be almost impassable, and abounded in deer, wolves, bears, wild-cats and rattle snakes. Deer were numerous as late as 1760.
