Warwick Village Historic District

Warwick Village Historic District is a historic area in New York featuring buildings from the 18th and early 20th centuries along Oakland Avenue and Main Street. Around 200 structures fill the streets with homes and commercial spaces that shape the neighborhood.

The area stems from a 1703 land patent called Wawayanda signed with the Minsi Indians, with Benjamin Aske establishing a farm named Warwick in 1719. These early roots led to the settlement pattern visible in the district today.

The streets display a mix of Federal, Victorian, and Romanesque buildings that preserve the look of earlier centuries. Visitors can see how shops and homes blend together, giving the place a lived-in, mixed-use feel.

The district is easy to walk through since the main streets form a connected network. Buildings are protected by preservation rules that keep their original look while allowing modern businesses to operate today.

The Shingle House on Forester Avenue dates to 1764 and stands as the oldest residence in the village. It now operates as a museum, giving visitors a window into how early residents lived.
