Some also consider Elmsford to be responsible for the birth of the term "cocktail". It was because a local restaurant in town ran out of stirrers for drinks and used a cock's tail to stir the drink.

Elmsford is also the burial place of Isaac Van Wart, Revolutionary War hero who, along with John Paulding and David Williams, captured the British spy Major John Andre.
