THE TOWN

LEWISBORO.

Lewisboro is situated eighteen miles north-east of the village of White Plains, distant fifty miles from New York, and one hundred and nineteen from Albany -- bounded north, by North Salem ; east, by the State of Connecticut ; and south and west by the towns of Poundridge and Bedford ; and west by Somers.

This town prior to 1808, was called Lower Salem, and afterward South Salem, to distinguish it from the northern or upper town of that name, and was incorporated on the 18th of March, 1791. In 1840, the name was again changed to Lewisboro, in compliment to John Lewis, Esq., a liberal benefactor of its common schools.

The earliest sale of lands in this town, is to be found in the Indian deed to Master Roger Ludlow, of Fairfield, Connecticut, who purchased of the former, all their lands between the two rivers Norwalk and Soakatuck, from the sea a day's walk into t/ie country.
