About Newburgh

Newburgh is a Hudson River city in Orange County, across from Beacon and north of New York City. Its riverfront position gave it early strategic and commercial importance, with European contact dating back to Henry Hudson's 1609 voyage. Newburgh also has a notable industrial and technological history, including one of Thomas Edison's early central power stations. The city has beautiful old architecture and serious urban challenges, making it one of the Hudson Valley's more layered and complicated places.
