History

The Kitchawonke tribe originally inhabited the property now known as the village of Buchanan. In 1683, Stephanus VanCortlandt purchased 1000 acres from them; this land is now part of the Village of Buchanan. In 1928, The Buchanan family made great contributions to the village, and in return the Village was named after them.
SURPRISE FEATURES

Buchanan is home to the Indian Point Power Plant. Indian Point currently serves as an energy center with a three-unit nuclear power plant station. However, before Indian Point was a power plant, it was a 320-acre amusement park. There were dance halls, a swimming pool and beach, carnival rides and much more. In 1954, Con Edison purchased the property and shut down the park in 1956. Entergy now owns the power plant, but there is a program in effect to shut the plant down by 2021.
