Rockland County, County in Hudson Valley, New York, United States.
Rockland County extends over 199 square miles of land between the Hudson River and the New Jersey border, featuring both residential areas and natural spaces.
The territory separated from Orange County in 1798 after European settlers, who named it for its rocky terrain, established communities in the region.
The county maintains the highest concentration of Jewish residents per capita in the United States, with 31.4 percent of the population identifying as Jewish.
The county connects to Manhattan through multiple transportation routes, including the Interstate 87, NJ Transit rail lines, and local bus services.
One third of Rockland County consists of protected parkland, including sections of Bear Mountain State Park and Harriman State Park.
