Scotts Corners, in brief

Wikipedia doesn’t have a history of Scotts Corners yet. The photos, dates and memories neighbors add here are how it gets written.

Scotts Corners is a hamlet (and census-designated place or CDP) located in the town of Pound Ridge in Westchester County, New York, United States. As of the 2020 census, Scotts Corners had a population of 665. While much of Pound Ridge is characterized by sprawling estates and rural landscapes, Scotts Corners serves as a dense "downtown" area. It contains a quarter-mile stretch of businesses along Westchester Avenue, including boutiques, stores, and essential services. Scotts Corners is near the southern town line (the border of Connecticut), east of Sarles Corners.

Between the 2010 and 2020 censuses its population fell from 711 to 665 (-6%).
