Тарих
Революциялық соғыстан бұрын, кейіннен Жаңа қала деп аталатын жерді көбінесе Лени Ленапе американдық индейлері мекендеген. Голландтықтар бұл аймаққа алғаш қоныс аударған еуропалықтар болды. Оранж округі 1683 жылы Нью-Йорк провинциясының алғашқы 12 округінің бірі ретінде құрылды, оған қазіргі Рокленд округі де кірді. 1780 жылы майор Джон Андре мен Джош Хетт Смит қазіргі Нью-Хемпстед жолы мен 45-ші тас жолының қиылысында орналасқан Коу тавернасында тоқтады. Нью-Сити 1798 жылы құрылды, Рокленд округі Оранж округінің оңтүстік-шығыс бөлігінен бөлініп, жеке округ ретінде құрылған кезде. Жаңа округ құрылғандықтан, жаңа округ орталығына мұқтаждық туды. 1798 жылы саяхаттау қиын болғандықтан және округтің бұрынғы қалалары орталықта орналаспағандықтан, Нью-Ситидің орталық орналасқан жері округ орталығы үшін ыңғайлы болды. Сол кезде Нью-Йорк қаласының кавалериялық эскадрильясының жазғы лагері қазіргі Squadron Boulevard және Cavalry Drive көшелерінде орналасқан, сондықтан осы көшелер осылай аталды. Қоғам атын алған себебі, округ орталығын құрған негіздеушілер жаңа округ құрылғанда «жаңа» қаланы көздеген. Аудандық және қалалық басқарудан басқа, ертедегі орталық аймақ көбінесе ауыл шаруашылығы аймағындағы шағын сауда дүкендерінен тұрды. Сондай-ақ, 304 және Конгерс жолдарының қиылысында округтік жәрмеңкелер мен жарыс жолы орналасқан. Контри-клубтың оңтүстігінде орналасқан Зукор паркі де продюсердің құрметіне аталған. Зукордың меншігі аймаққа көптеген суретшілерді тартты, олардың ішінде Максвелл Андерсон, Генри Варнум Пур, Норман Ллойд, Курт Вейл, Марта МакГуффи, Лотте Ленья, Джон Хаусман және тағы басқалар Оңтүстік Тау жолында тұрып, онда суретшілер колониясын құрды. Округтегі ең көне саябақ болып табылатын Голланд бақтары 1934 жылы итальяндық шеберлермен салынды, олардың бірегей өрнекті кірпіш жұмыстарымен танымал. Оны Батыс Ньяк қаласының тумасы Мэри Моубрей Кларк жобалаған. Better Homes and Gardens журналы оны 1934 жылғы «Жыл бағы» деп мойындады. 1991 жылы ол Ұлттық тарихи орындар тізіміне енгізілді. Қала орталығындағы сот ғимаратының оңтүстігінде орналасқан бұл саябақ бүгінде Рокленд округінің ең көп танымал саябақтарының бірі болып табылады.
Before the Revolutionary War, the land that would later become known as New City was inhabited mostly by Lenni Lenape American Indians. The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle in the area. Orange County was established in 1683 as one of the first 12 counties in Province of New York, which included present day Rockland County. In 1780, Major John André and Josh Hett Smith stopped at Coe's Tavern, located on what is now the corner of New Hempstead Road and Route 45. New City was formed in 1798, when Rockland County was incorporated as a separate county from the south easternmost portion of Orange County. With the formation of a new county, there were needs for a new county seat. The central location of New City was a convenient location for a county seat, since travel in 1798 was difficult, and the existing main towns in the county were not centrally located. At the time, the Squadron Cavalry of New York City had a summer encampment of what is now the busy streets of Squadron Boulevard and Cavalry Drive, hence how these streets were named. The community got its name because the founding fathers envisioned a "new" city when forming the new county seat. Other than county and town government, the early downtown area consisted mainly of small retail shops in what was mainly an agricultural area. There was also a county fairgrounds and racetrack located on the Route 304 and Congers Road intersection. Zukor Park, located just south of the country club, is also named after the producer. Zukor's property attracted a large number of artistic people to the area; including Maxwell Anderson, Henry Varnum Poor, Norman Lloyd, Kurt Weill, Martha MacGuffie, Lotte Lenya, John Houseman and more who all lived on South Mountain Road and formed an artist colony there. Dutch Gardens, the oldest remaining park in the county, was built in 1934 by Italian artisans, known for its unique patterned brickwork. It was designed by West Nyack native Mary Mowbray Clark. It was honored as the 1934 Garden of the Year by Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Located just south of the courthouse in the downtown area, it is still one of the most commonly visited parks in Rockland County today.

Before the Revolutionary War, the land that would later become known as New City was inhabited mostly by Lenni Lenape American Indians. The Dutch were the first Europeans to settle in the area. Orange County was established in 1683 as one of the first 12 counties in Province of New York, which included present day Rockland County. In 1780, Major John André and Josh Hett Smith stopped at Coe's Tavern, located on what is now the corner of New Hempstead Road and Route 45. New City was formed in 1798, when Rockland County was incorporated as a separate county from the south easternmost portion of Orange County. With the formation of a new county, there were needs for a new county seat. The central location of New City was a convenient location for a county seat, since travel in 1798 was difficult, and the existing main towns in the county were not centrally located. At the time, the Squadron Cavalry of New York City had a summer encampment of what is now the busy streets of Squadron Boulevard and Cavalry Drive, hence how these streets were named. The community got its name because the founding fathers envisioned a "new" city when forming the new county seat. Other than county and town government, the early downtown area consisted mainly of small retail shops in what was mainly an agricultural area. There was also a county fairgrounds and racetrack located on the Route 304 and Congers Road intersection. Zukor Park, located just south of the country club, is also named after the producer. Zukor's property attracted a large number of artistic people to the area; including Maxwell Anderson, Henry Varnum Poor, Norman Lloyd, Kurt Weill, Martha MacGuffie, Lotte Lenya, John Houseman and more who all lived on South Mountain Road and formed an artist colony there. Dutch Gardens, the oldest remaining park in the county, was built in 1934 by Italian artisans, known for its unique patterned brickwork. It was designed by West Nyack native Mary Mowbray Clark. It was honored as the 1934 Garden of the Year by Better Homes and Gardens Magazine. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991. Located just south of the courthouse in the downtown area, it is still one of the most commonly visited parks in Rockland County today.
