Located in northeast Westchester County and bordering Connecticut, the Town of Lewisboro includes the hamlets of Cross River, Golden's Bridge, South Salem, Waccabuc, Vista and Lewisboro.

The town was formed as "Salem" in 1747, when European settlers purchased land around what is now South Salem. Through the end of the 18th Century and beginning of the 19th Century, the town was known as Lower Salem, and then South Salem.

In 1840, the town was renamed after financier John Lewis, after he established a fund for the support of public education in the town. At the time of the 2020 census, the population of the town was 12,265.
