Thomas Scharf (1886)] About two miles south of Peekskill is located the little village commonly know n by the name of Cen-treville, in and around which are about forty houses, representing a population of about two hundred people. A station of the Hudson River Railroad was formerly located there, which was known as Ver-planck's, but about 1862 another station was built by Stephanus Hunt a short distance to the south, which took its place. The present title of the village is de-rived from the name of a tavern located there, which is called by its proprietor the Centreville House. In Centreville are located the oil cloth works of Buchanan & Co., which were started by Alexander F. Buchanan in the year 1874. The number of men employed is about fifty.
