History
Briarcliff Manor was originally part of the vast land holdings of Dutchman Frederick Philipse, who owned the stretch of land spanning from Spuyten Duyvil in the Bronx to the Croton River. The Philipses, who were loyal to the crown, lost their land after the American Revolution.
In 1890, Walter W. Law bought his first 232 acres (0.94 km2) when he retired from W. & J. Sloan; he called this land Briarcliff Farm. He later owned 5,000 acres (20 km2) and developed the village. It is said that "Manor" was added to the village's name after Law's friend Andrew Carnegie jokingly referred to Law as the "Laird of Briarcliff Manor" and the name stuck.
