Orange County
Orange County NY is in the Hudson Valley, about 60 miles north of NYC, anchored by Goshen (county seat) and Newburgh (largest city). The economy mixes warehousing and logistics (Stewart International Airport, Amazon Air), West Point / U.S. Military Academy, Woodbury Common Premium Outlets, healthcare (Garnet Health, Montefiore-Nyack), Orange Regional / Crystal Run, and a fast-growing Hasidic community in Kiryas Joel/Palm Tree. The County Clerk operates from 255 Main Street.
