The town that is now called Eastchester began settlement in 1664 when ten families migrated from Fairfield, Connecticut. Thomas Pell, who at that time also owned the territory that is now New Rochelle and Pelham granted a deed to the group to "settle down at Hutchinsons'", where the home of Anne Hutchinson had stood some twenty years before. The ten original families were shortly joined by another twenty-six. Laws for the region were established the following year, in 1665, under an agreement called the "Eastchester Covenant". The covenant was a rare document for this period. It contained 26 provisions such items as: education of children, disposition and upkeep of property, support of a minister, etc. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
