Until the Revolutionary War, Westchester County was split into 6 manors one of which was "Cortlandt Manoor" shown on a map circa 1760 where "Cortlandt Manor" extended from the Hudson River to Connecticut. .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, because it is an unincorporated section of the Town of Cortlandt. The 10567 zip code was created by the US Postal Service to differentiate this part of the Town of Cortlandt from Cortland, New York, which is located hours away in upstate NY.EducationCortlandt Manor residents are served by Hendrick Hudson Central School District, Lakeland Central School District, and Putnam Valley Central School District.
