The Huntersville Association


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

Our mission is to maintain the rural environment and character of the Huntersville area for the appreciation of all residents and visitors and to foster a sense of community among area residents.

The Functions of the Huntersville Association:

  • Provide a forum for Huntersville issues and represent area residents with outside parties and organizations.

  • Act as a watchdog, reviewing all development and other environmentally sensitive activities taking place in the Huntersville area.

  • Organize social functions and community projects, including the annual spring clean-up.

  • Work with the Town Board and other government entities on behalf of the communal interests of area residents.

  • Form alliances with other societies, coalitions and groups with common interests for greater effectiveness.

  • Encourage membership in the Association.

  • Provide news and other communications to area residents via flyers, e-mails and the web site.

  • Through its elected Board of Directors, hold monthly meetings (except summer) to discuss local issues and organize activities.

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.

In 2002 we removed weeds and planted trees and shrubs in the island in the intersection at Hunterbrook Road and White Hill Road. In 2003 we did a similiar project at the intersection of Hunterbrook Road and Route 129. The link below is to a page with photos of the work.

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, Baldwin, Gambelli, Fox Tail, and Beakman.

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. The fall party is planned for the Sunday after Labor Day, 4:00 pm. People bring dishes to share. Liquid refreshments are provided.
