 Located to the north of Wykagyl's business district, development in this area was first conceived in 1910 when "Upper Rochelle" was entirely farmland.The small hamlet of Cooper's Corner served as the satellite to the downtown area for farmers living in the area.The real estate group that purchased all of the farmland to create the neighborhood were motivated by the construction of the New York-Westchester-Boston Railroad line and creation of a Wykagyl station nearby for potential commuters.
