The Huntersville Association


The Huntersville Association is a non-profit, voluntary, cooperative association of area residents and home owners interested in making Yorktown a better place in which to live.

This site contains information about the Huntersville area, current and past activities of the Huntersville Association, a list of our directors and officers, and contact information. We also document our winning struggle to prevent the Yorktown Planning Board from bulldozing the centuries-old stone walls of Hunterbrook Road.

Preserving our History

We are fighting to preserve the historic character and the environment of our community.

The Area: The village of Huntersville was settled 300 years ago in the Hunterbrook and Croton Valleys, predating the Town of Yorktown by a century. Much of the original settlement was flooded in 1906 by the creation of the New Croton Reservoir. The Huntersville area lies in the west of Yorktown north of the Croton Reservoir between the Taconic Parkway on the east and the Town of Cortlandt on the west, including the following roads and lanes: Hunterbrook, Jacob, White Hill, Baptist Church, Old Logging, Maiden, Wilson, Bridge Point, Croton Lake (Route 129), Hays, Rustic Ridge, Underhill, Echo Hill, and Baldwin.

Annual Events: The Association hosts a spring cleanup and party and a fall neighborhood party. The cleanup is scheduled for the second or third Saturday in April. It is coordinated with the Yorktown cleanup. We meet at the Community Church (Hunterbrook and Baptist Church Roads) at 10:00 am. The party is held at 12:00 noon. We provide the food. In 2002 the spring cleanup was held on April 20. The fall party is planned for the Sunday after Labor Day, 4:00 pm. Bring a dish to share. Liquid refreshments will be provided. This year the fall party will be held at Doug Dill's on September 8.
