The Historic Districts of Newburgh New York

The East End is the lower portion of what New York state and the city recognize as a single historic district along with Montgomery, Grand and Liberty Streets.

The Montgomery Grand Liberty Streets was the first of two to be designated in the city. It runs along the north-south streets in the northeast quadrant of the city and includes 250 buildings in its 1,010 acres (4.1 km²). Much of the district's historical character comes from its historic homes built by industrialists to take advantage the Hudson River views available from the neighborhood.

The Newburgh Historic Districts include much of the southeastern quarter of the city

Most of the East End buildings were constructed during the height of industrial development in the 19^th century, as opposed to the villas and mansions in the Montgomery Grand Liberty district. They housed many of the city's working-class population and the small businesses that served them.

The East End District rises gently from the riverside area to mildly rolling higher ground and is roughly bounded by Robinson Avenue to the west, Water Street and Bay View Terrace on the east, Monument and Renwick streets to the south and LeRoy Place and Broadway to the north. This area of Newburgh, combined with the other district, represents the core of the settled city by the end of the 19^th century.

Industrial properties are concentrated closer to the river, while the higher neighborhoods are mostly residential, with some institutional buildings such as schools and churches. There are a few commercial areas, most notably along Liberty Street opposite Washington's Headquarters. The two districts include 4,000 properties, the most of any historic district in New York. The 2,239 in the East End alone are the most of any federally recognized district in the state.

Architecture much of the district is characterized by two- or three-story brick Italianate style townhomes. In Washington Heights, where there are views of the river, there are Victorian style houses.

The houses on and near Parmenter Street, one block west of Washington's Headquarters, are the only part of Newburgh that still reflects the village character of the settlement from the turn of the 19^th century.

The Oldest Property in the district and the city, Jonathan Hasbrouck's 1750 stone house, was George Washington's residence during the years between the Yorktown surrender and final withdrawal from the American colonies in 1783.

The New York State Armory on Broadway had been vacant for decades; t now houses the Orange County Social Services operations in the city.

Newburgh Port Jervis and Middletown in Orange County New York

 Located in southeastern New York State, Orange County is directly north of the border with New Jersey, west of the Hudson River, east of the Delaware and northwest of New York City. Points of interest in Orange County include the US Military Academy at West Point, America’s oldest winery in Washingtonville, the Harness Racing Museum and Hall of Fame in Goshen, the first cold press daily in the nation in Middletown.

Orange County is the only county which borders the Hudson and the Delaware Rivers

Transportation the region is served by Stewart International, located west Newburgh, and providing national and international flights. Ground transportation consists of bus service within Orange County and rail to New York City.

History Orange County was established in1683, when the Province of New York was divided into twelve counties. At that time, the only inhabitants of the area were the native Munsee people, with the first European settlers arriving in 1685 consisting of twenty-five families from Scotland. In 1709, a group of German Palatine refugees settled in Newburgh; the Dutch and English arrived in 1712 and additional immigrants came from Ireland. In 1798, after the American Revolutionary War, the boundaries of Orange County changed; the southern end was ceded to the new Rockland County and an area north of Moodna Creek was added.

Port Jervis is at the confluence of the Neversink and Delaware Rivers in the western part of the county and north of the Delaware Water Gap. Port Jervis industrial history includes a role in shipping coal to major markets to the southeast by canal and later by railroads as well as long-distance rail passenger service until 1970. Today, tourists pass through Port Jervis on their way to enjoying rafting, kayaking, canoeing and other activities in the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area and the Upper Delaware Scenic and Recreational Region.

Port Jervis is named for Delaware and Hudson Canal Chief Engineer John Bloomfield Jervis

Middletown is situated between Port Jervis and Newburgh. Incorporated as a city in 1888. It grew in the 19^th and early 20^th centuries as a stop on several lower New York State railroads, attracting small manufacturing businesses. The surrounding area is partly devoted to small dairy farms. The downtown area is home to an active bar and restaurant scene, historic churches, and prosperous neighborhoods like Presidential Heights. Highland Avenue is lined with large Victorian houses, some of the largest of which are now used as nursing homes.

Newburgh  is situated on land that rises sharply to a bluff; many historic homes are located here with sweeping views of the Hudson river and highlands to the south. Newburgh's preservation history can be traced to 1850 when Washington's Headquarters was designated a state historic site, the first in the country. The Historical Society of Newburgh Bay and the Highlands was chartered by the State of New York in 1884. The David Crawford House on Montgomery Street, built in 1834, is the current home of the Newburgh Historical Society. The city's modern preservation efforts led to the development of a historic district the second largest in New York State. The city's historic architecture features historic designs by Andrew Jackson Downing, Frederick Law Olmsted and Calvert Vaux.

Newburgh was designated a Preserve America community in 2005
