Rockland County is located in the southeastern part of New York State, just northwest of New York City, and is part of the Hudson Valley region. Established on February 23, 1798, it became the 63rd county in the state and was named after its rocky terrain. The county's area spans around 176 square miles, making it the third smallest in New York.
The rich history of Rockland County goes back centuries with its first settlers being the Algonquian-speaking Munsee band of Lenape Native Americans. During the 1600s, Dutch and French Huguenot settlers arrived and the area became part of the Dutch colony of New Netherland. The British took control of the region in 1664.
During the American Revolution, Rockland County played a significant role as it served as an important strategic position for both British and American armies. Notably, the Battle of Stony Point took place in the county, where General Anthony Wayne led the Continental Army to victory.
Throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, the county's economy mainly focused on agriculture, but with the construction of the New York and Erie Railroad, Rockland began to develop into a more industrial and suburban region. The Tappan Zee Bridge, completed in 1955, greatly increased accessibility to New York City, which led to rapid population growth and further suburbanization.
Fun Fact: Rockland County is home to the town of Sleepy Hollow, which was made famous by Washington Irving's 1820 short story "The Legend of Sleepy Hollow." The story features the tale of the Headless Horseman and has become an iconic part of American literary and popular culture.
