History

Devondale was incorporated sometime in 1958 [5] and apparently named for a local farm. [6]

Graymoor was also named for a local farm, itself named for the monastery of the Society of the Atonement in Garrison, New York. [7] Merged with the nearby subdivision of Woodstock, [8] it was formally incorporated by the state assembly on November 17, 1959. [8]

Graymoor and Devondale merged on November 6, 1985, [8] and were reïncorporated together on November 23, 1987. [9] This allowed them (in 1992) to reach 4th-class status and control the zoning of properties around the Westport Rd.Herr Ln. intersection. [10]
