... more »Peekskill is a city in Westchester County, New York, United States. The population was 22,441 at the 2000 census.
It is known as the site of the Peekskill Riots, although they technically occurred in the neighboring town of Cortlandt.
Peekskill is the birthplace of current New York Governor George Pataki as well as T.C. Boyle (born 1948), Paul Reubens (a.k.a. Pee-Wee Herman), Mel Gibson, Benjamin Civiletti, and basketball star Elton Brand. Gov. George Pataki was a Peekskill mayor and was the first upstate Governor since Franklin D. Roosevelt. However, some dispute that claim because Westchester County (even the northern portion) is usually not considered to be Upstate New York, nor is Garrison in Putnam County, where he lived when he became governor.
Peekskill is also the setting for the sitcom The Facts of Life, as well as the inspiration for the hometown in "Little Lulu" .
