Although begun circa 1954, it wasn't completed until about 1962. It was deeded to the city in 1966. Since it is located near a lake, and the development name was North Lake Estates, perhaps we can assume the lake's name is North Lake.

AuthorMy name is Cliff Blau. I was born and raised in White Plains, NY, and in 2015 became interested in learning more about the history of this fair city. The pathway I took into White Plains history was to discover the reason for the names of each of the streets. See https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?mid=1WvlOinVQnWh4KGDmEN7YPFfg4II for an annotated map of White Plains. Archives
