Newburgh, New York (town)

Newburgh (town), New York, in Orange County, is almost halfway between New York City and Albany, New York.

Originally named "Palatine Parish by Quassic", it was renamed by the British majority of the population in 1752. From settlement until 1798 it was the county seat of Ulster County.

Newburgh (city), New York was formed in 1865 from part of it, and had a greater population until early in the 21st century when the town's population passed 30,000 and the city's population had dropped below that.
