New City is a charming suburb of New York City, located in the town of Clarkstown in Rockland County, NY. The 16.25-square-mile hamlet is situated about 18 miles north of New York City and is home to about 35,101 residents, making it the 14th most populous hamlet in the state of New York. New City, which is also the state’s county seat, was formed in 1789 when Rockland County incorporated as a separate county from Orange County. New City is home to the oldest remaining park in the country, the circa 1934 Dutch Gardens, which is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and is said to be one of the most commonly visited parks in Rockland County. New City was primarily rural until the 1950’s, when the opening of the Tappan Zee Bridge, now the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, and the Palisades Interstate Parkway made commuting from New York City easier and faster. Residential and business development followed, and today the hamlet, which boasts about two dozen district neighborhoods – many of which have remained tranquil and comprise lakes, trees and winding roads — is a vibrant New York suburb in which to live, work and play.
