Newburgh, Historic city in Orange County, New York, United States.
Newburgh sits on the western shore of the Hudson River in Orange County, New York State. The settlement spreads along the waterfront with residential blocks and commercial streets on gently sloping terrain.
Palatine refugees founded the settlement in 1709 and began farming and trade. General George Washington used a house here from April 1782 to August 1783 as headquarters for the Continental Army.
This riverside settlement shows typical Hudson Valley building patterns with narrow streets and 19th-century storefronts. Visitors today find antique shops and small cafés occupying the ground floors of older structures.
The settlement lies roughly 60 miles (100 km) north of New York City along the Hudson River. An airport south of town provides domestic and some international connections.
The settlement took part in an early television test market in 1939 and helped develop this technology for private homes. These experiments influenced the later rollout of television in other parts of the country.
