A Brief History of Orangeburg, NY
Orangeburg began as a peaceful agricultural hamlet within Orangetown in Rockland County. Its earliest European settlers arrived in the late 17th century, establishing farms and small homesteads. One of the area's earliest historical landmarks is the Colonial Orangetown marker in Veterans Memorial Park, commemorating its early colonial roots dating back to 1683.
The region's history took a momentous turn during World War II. In 1942, the U.S. Army established Camp Shanks, the largest embarkation camp in the country, covering over 2,000 acres. Dubbed "Last Stop USA," it processed approximately 1.3 million troops, many headed to the D-Day invasion. Today, the Camp Shanks Museum stands in Orangeburg, preserving this critical wartime legacy.
In 1926, New York State constructed what was then the world's largest psychiatric facility, Rockland State Hospital, later renamed Rockland Psychiatric Center, in Orangeburg. This sprawling campus cared for thousands and remains a center for mental health services and research. Part of its former grounds are now home to recreational fields, educational institutions, and biotech facilities.
Orangeburg also earned national recognition for the production of Orangeburg pipe, a bituminized fiber conduit invented locally in the late 19th century. Though later replaced by PVC in the 1970s, this manufacturing legacy shaped the hamlet's industrial identity for decades.
Following WWII, refugees of the war effort and modest returning veterans' housing set the stage for suburban neighborhood development. By the late 1950s, Orangeburg had transformed into a comfortable commuter suburb, maintaining its scenic charm even as modern residential communities emerged.
