The village of Nyack in southeastern Rockland County, which was incorporated in 1872, is a charming suburb of New York City. It is one of five hamlets and villages constituting “The Nyacks,” and situated about 15 miles north of Manhattan near the Hudson River’s west bank. Nyack, which is home to Hook Mountain and was a favorite pre-Colonial fishing spot, has 7,265 residents within its 1.6 square miles of area, about half of which falls within the Hudson River. The village retains a very small western section in Clarkstown. Originally a shipbuilding community in the 18th and 19th centuries, Nyack later became Rockland County’s commercial center. With the completion of the Tappan Zee Bridge, now the Governor Mario M. Cuomo Bridge, in the mid-1950’s, the village’s population increased and its commerce expanded. A key urban revitalization project in the 1980’s, including the building of the Helen Hayes Theatre, contributed to the village’s vibrant downtown. Residents take pride in Nyack’s history and historic landmarks, including the Edward Hopper House Art Center, and it’s coveted Memorial Park provides recreation and ongoing special events for all ages. Students are served by the Nyack Public School District.
