About Dushore
Set high in the Endless Mountains of Sullivan County, Dushore is a small, welcoming community famous for having the only traffic light in the entire county. Sitting at the intersection of Routes 87 and 220, it serves as a handy local hub where neighbors grab coffee, pick up groceries, and catch up on local news. Wooded ridges, family farms, and state forests surround the borough, creating a peaceful backdrop for everyday life.
The town got its distinctive name from a French naval officer, Aristide Aubert Dupetit-Thouars, which early settlers gradually simplified into "Dushore." Life here revolves around the outdoors and a close-knit community spirit, highlighted each August by quirky traditions like the annual outhouse races on Founders' Day. With state game lands nearby and Worlds End State Park just a short drive away, Dushore is an appealing spot for anyone looking for quiet mountain living.
