Cortlandt Manor is the designated name of an area located in the Town of Cortlandt in Northern Westchester County, NY. Cortlandt Manor is situated directly east, north and south of Peekskill, and east of three villages of the Town of Cortlandt, Croton-on-Hudson, Crugers-on-Hudson, and Montrose. Most of the area is made up of middle-class residential homes.
Until 1991, this area shared a mailing address and ZIP Code (10566) with the city of Peekskill. Although it now has its own ZIP code, 10567, many directories and censuses still do not include Cortlandt Manor. Indeed, many residents still consider Cortlandt Manor to be a part of Peekskill.
The name Cortlandt Manor is derived from the estate of Van Cortlandt (actually located in Croton-on-Hudson), the colonial aristocrat who originally owned much of the area.
