Port Chester is a village in Westchester County, New York, United States. The population is 27,867, according to the 2000 census, however, a July 1, 2002 Census estimate puts the village's population at 27,949. As a village, it is located in the Town of Rye. Port Chester has a Metro North railroad station. The current mayor is Dennis Pilla. In 1660, three settlers from "Greenwidge:" (later known as Greenwich, Connecticut) Thomas Stedwell, John Coe, and Peter Disbrow arranged to buy Manursing Island and the land near the Byram River from the Mohegan Indians. The land near the Byram River is now Port Chester. The Village was originally known as Saw Pit for the saw pits which were in use during the time. Logs were cut in holes in the ground for wood to be used for shipbuilding. The name of Sawpit was used for the first time in 1732. It eventually outgrew this name and became Port Chester by incorporating as a village in 1868. -- Source: Wikipedia.com
