Larchmont has always been distinguished from other settlements north of New York City by its thirteen acres of public-access shoreline and glaciated coast on Long Island Sound. Settled in the early 1800s, it became a resort community after wealthy New Yorkers began buying up abandoned farmland to create country estates. It rose to international fame on the coattails of the Larchmont Yacht Club.
