WHITE PLAINS
Westchester County • New York Local
First Non-Native Settlement November 1683
In 1758, White Plains became the seat of Westchester County when the colonial government for the county left West Chester, which was located in what is now the northern part of the borough of the Bronx. The unincorporated village remained part of the Town of Rye until 1788 when the town of White Plains was created.
On July 9, 1776, an exact copy of the Declaration of Independence was delivered to the New York Provincial Congress, which was meeting in the county courthouse.
The delegates quickly adopted a resolution approving the Declaration, thus declaring both the colony’s independence and the formation of the State of New York and thus, White Plains is called, “The Birthplace of New York State” with the motto: “Always Faithful”.
The Declaration itself was first publicly read from the steps of the courthouse on July 11, 1776. The first United States Census, conducted in 1790, listed the White Plains population at 505, of whom 46 were slaves.
