New Hempstead, NY

New Hempstead is a Rockland County village in the town of Ramapo, about 30 miles north of New York City. It incorporated in 1983, so its civic identity is relatively recent, but the area has older local history, including the English Meeting House, often noted as an early English-speaking church west of the Hudson River. The village sits within the suburban Hudson Valley orbit of New York, with access to the Tappan Zee corridor, Ramapo schools and institutions, and the broader Rockland County job market.
