Samuel Palmer, a local Quaker leader, was elected first Town Supervisor. Town meetings were conducted annually and now are held twice a month. Today, the Town of Mamaroneck, with its beautiful Long Island Sound waterfront and easy access to highways, airports and Metro North train service to New York City and Stamford is a prime suburban residential community.
Both the incorporated villages and the unincorporated Town are self-governing and define the Town as a political and governmental subdivision of the State of New York.
The Town provides direct municipal services - police, fire, sanitation, highway among others - to the residents of the Unincorporated area, and recreation, property assessment services and election supervision to both villages. Town Government The Town of Mamaroneck elects its own officials, adopts its own laws, and manages its own finances under the direction of a Supervisor and four council members.
The Supervisor is elected for a two-year term and the Council members for four years. The Town Board is vested by New York State with control of legislation, appropriation of monies and decision-making on general local governmental policies. The Board authorizes the annual budget and the collection of taxes required to finance it. Each of the council members is appointed by the Supervisor to serve as liaison to several committees and commissions.
