I have a correction from Bill Twomey, a Bronx Historian. Thanks Bill. Ten Farms was the originally name for the old Village of Eastchester (now the current town that bears the name). It was located north of Westchester Village near the current site of Co-op City. The earlier name for West Farms was Twelve West Farms and you are right, it was thus named because it was west of Westchester Village.
