Orange County, New York
Orange County is located in the mid Hudson Valley region of New York. The county was named for William III of Orange, who was held in high regard by the original settlers of the county. Orange County was one of the original twelve counties established in the Province of New York in 1683 along with Dutchess County, among others. Rockland County split off from Orange County in 1798. The first Court in Orange County was installed in 1801.
Orange County is directly north of the New York-New Jersey border and northwest of New York City. Orange is on the border of three states, bordering Dutchess, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, and Ulster in New York, Passaic and Sussex in New Jersey, and Pike County in Pennsylvania. Orange County is the only county in New York which has borders on the Hudson River and Delaware River. Based on the US Census in 2000, the population of the county was 341,367.
According to US Census figures, Orange County has a total area of 839 square miles, of which 816 is land.
