Somers NY Real Estate
Somers is a town located in northeastern Westchester County, New York, United States. As of the 2000 census, the town had a total population of 18,346. The Metro-North Commuter Railroad provides service to Grand Central Terminal in Manhattan with an average commute time of slightly over an hour to Manhattan (while the railroad doesn't pass through the town, several stations, such as Purdys and Goldens Bridge, Bedford and Katonah are located just outside the town).
History
The town was established as Stephentown in 1788. Confusion with another New York town named Stephentown led the town to change its name to Somerstown. In 1808, the name was changed to Somers to honor Richard Somers, a naval captain from New Jersey who died in combat during the Tripolitan War. Somers grew most rapidly during the 1980s and 1990s, after International Business Machines and Pepsi built large corporate facilities within it.
