Palisades, Historical hamlet in Orangetown, United States
Palisades is a small hamlet in Orangetown located along the northern slope of the Palisades ridge. The landscape slopes gently toward the Hudson River, with local roads connecting residential areas and open spaces throughout the community.
The region originated from a land grant of 3,410 acres given to George Lockhart in 1665, leading to settlement by multiple families. During the Revolutionary War, George Washington ordered a blockhouse built here in 1780 to serve as a strategic defensive position.
The hamlet maintains several historic districts, including the Closter Road-Oak Tree Road and Washington Spring Road-Woods Road areas.
The community is connected to neighboring areas via Route 9W, and essential services are accessible through the 10964 postal area. Since this is a small suburban location, plan accordingly with limited public amenities in mind.
The community preserves multiple historic districts, including the Closter Road-Oak Tree Road and Washington Spring Road-Woods Road areas, which reflect the heritage of early settlement. These street corridors show how original pathways shaped the hamlet's layout over time.
