Each of these was named to honor a member of the British royal family, and Orange County took its name from the Prince of Orange, who subsequently became King William III of England. As originally defined, Orange County included only the southern part of its present - day territory, plus all of present - day Rockland County further south. The northern part of the present - day county, beyond Moodna Creek, was then a part of neighbouring Ulster County. At that date, the only European inhabitants of the area were a handful of Dutch colonists in present - day Rockland County, and the area of modern Orange County was entirely occupied by the native Munsee people. Due to its relatively small population, the original Orange County was not fully independent and was administered by New York County. The first European settlers in the area of the present - day county arrived in 1685. They were a party of around twenty - five families from Scotland, led by David Toshach, the Laird of Monzievaird, and his brother - in - law Major Patrick McGregor, a former officer of the French Army. They settled in the Hudson Highlands at the place where the Moodna Creek enters the Hudson River, now known as New Windsor. In 1709, a group of German Palatine refugees settled at Newburgh. They were Protestants from a part of Germany along the Rhine that had suffered during the religious wars. Queen Anne 's government arranged for passage from England of nearly 3,000 Palatines in ten ships. Many were settled along the Hudson River in work camps on property belonging to Robert Livingston. A group of Dutch and English settlers arrived at Goshen in 1712. Additional immigrants came from Ireland ; they were of Scots and English descent who had been settled as planters there. In 1798, after the American Revolutionary War, the boundaries of Orange County changed. Its southern corner was used to create the new Rockland County, and in exchange, an area to the north of the Moodna Creek was added, which had previously been in Ulster County. This caused a reorganization of the local administration, as the original county seat had been fixed at Orangetown in 1703, but this was now in Rockland County. Duties were subsequently shared between Goshen, which had been the center of government for the northern part of Orange County, and Newburgh, which played a similar role in the area transferred from Ulster County. The county court was established in 1801. It was not until 1970 that Goshen was named as the sole county seat. Due to a boundary dispute between New York and New Jersey, the boundaries of many of the southern towns of the county were not definitively established until the 19th century. Geography Downtown Newburgh, on the shoreline of the Hudson River. According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the county has a total area of 839 square miles ( 2,170 km ), of which 812 square miles ( 2,100 km ) is land and 27 square miles ( 70 km ) ( 3.2 % ) is water. Orange County is in southeastern New York State, directly north of the New Jersey - New York border, west of the Hudson River, east of the Delaware River and northwest of New York City. It borders the New York counties of Dutchess, Putnam, Rockland, Sullivan, Ulster, and Westchester, as well as Passaic and Sussex counties in New Jersey and Pike County in Pennsylvania. Orange County is the only county in New York State which borders both the Hudson and Delaware Rivers. Orange County is where the Great Valley of the Appalachians finally opens up and ends. The western corner is set off by the Shawangunk Ridge. The area along the Rockland County border ( within Harriman and Bear Mountain state parks ) and south of Newburgh is part of the Hudson Highlands. The land in between is the valley of the Wallkill River. In the southern portion of the county the Wallkill valley expands into a wide glacial lake bed known as the Black Dirt Region for its fertility. The highest point is Schunemunk Mountain, at 1,664 feet ( 507 m ) above sea level. The lowest is sea level along the Hudson.

Despite its rural roots, Orange County has been among the fastest - growing regions within the New York City Metropolitan Area. and starting around the 1960s has developed a more suburban character. Law and government The Orange County Government Center in Goshen, N.Y., designed by Paul Rudolph. Originally, like most New York counties, Orange County was governed by a Board of Supervisors. Its board consisted of the 20 town supervisors, nine city supervisors elected from the nine wards of the City of Newburgh, and four each elected from the wards of the cities of Middletown and Port Jervis. In 1968, the board adopted a county charter and a reapportionment plan that created the county legislature and executive. The first county executive and legislature were elected in November, 1969 and took office on January 1, 1970. Today, Orange County is still governed by the same charter ; residents elect the county executive and a 21 - member county legislature elected from 21 single - member districts. There are also several state constitutional positions that are elected, including a sheriff, county clerk and district attorney. Prior to 1 January 2008 four coroners were also elected ; however, on that date, the county switched to a medical examiner system. The current County Officers are : County Executive : Steven M.

However, since the late 20th century, the Democrats have closed the gap. During 2008 and 2009 the legislature was evenly split between 10 Republicans, 10 Democrats and 1 Independence Party member. In 2009, the legislature had its first Democratic chairman elected when one member of the Republican caucus voted alongside the 10 Democratic members to elect Roxanne Donnery ( D ) - Highlands / Woodbury to the post. At the November 2009 election, several Democratic incumbents were defeated. As of the convening of the legislature on January 1, 2012, there are 12 Republicans, 8 Democrats and 1 Independence member.

The sheriff, district attorney and county clerk have always been elected. All serve four - year terms, with elections in the year following presidential election years, save the sheriff, whose election is the following year. The current county executive is Steven Neuhaus, former town supervisor for Chester. Frank Phillips, Annie Rabbitt and Carl DuBois are the incumbent district attorney, clerk and sheriff respectively. All are Republicans, and as of 2012 the legislature has a 13 -- 8 Republican majority. Only one Democrat, Mary McPhillips, has served as county executive. She failed to win re-election after a single term in the early 1990s. For several years in the late 2000s, one Republican legislator 's decision to become an independent and caucus with the Democrats led to a 10 - 10 - 1 effective Democratic majority, with Roxanne Donnery as chair. The Republicans regained their majority in the 2009 elections. Transportation Short Line Bus provides most local and commuter bus service. The county is served by Stewart International Airport, located two miles west of Newburgh, New York. The airport serves Delta Air Lines, JetBlue Airways, American Airlines, Norwegian Airlines and Allegiant Air. AirTran Airways stopped providing service to the airport in late 2008. Norwegian Airlines began in 2017. Ground transportation within Orange County is provided primarily by Leprechaun Lines, Monsey Trails, NJ Transit, Short Line Bus, and Metro - North Railroad 's Port Jervis Line, as well as amenities such as senior citizen busing and car services, which usually restrict themselves to their respective town or city. Politics George W. Bush won 54 % of the Orange County vote in 2004 reflecting a solid Republican edge in county politics. However, Barack Obama carried the county by a 51 % margin four years later. It was the first time a Democrat had carried Orange County when first elected to the presidency. That year the number of registered Democrats in the county exceeded Republicans for the first time. The two presidential election results give the county a Cook PVI of R + 2, consistent with county voters ' willingness to sometimes elect Democrats, such as U.S. Rep. John Hall. From 2007 on, when Hall represented the 19th district, which covered most of the county, Orange 's representation in Congress was exclusively Democratic, as Maurice Hinchey had represented the towns of Crawford, Montgomery and Newburgh and the city of Newburgh, all of which were in what was then the 22nd district, since 1988. In the 2010 midterms, Hall was defeated by Nan Hayworth. In 2012, after Hinchey 's former 22nd district was eliminated in redistricting following his retirement and all of Orange County was included in the current 18th district, Hayworth was defeated by Democrat Sean Patrick Maloney, a former adviser to President Bill Clinton and the first openly gay person to be elected to Congress from New York. Maloney won a rematch against Hayworth in 2014 ; in 2016 he was again re-elected over Phil Oliva. At the state level, Republicans have continued to hold onto Senate seats while Democrats have made inroads in recent years on the Assembly side. Two State Senate districts -- the 39th, held by Bill Larkin and 42nd, held by John Bonacic -- cover the county. Democrats have made significant gains in the county 's State Assembly seats. The 98th district, which includes the far western part of the county as well as the Town of Warwick, is represented by Annie Rabbitt, and the 101st district, which includes the Towns of Crawford and Montgomery, was until 2016 held by Claudia Tenney, both Republicans. After Tenney left her seat to run for Congress that year, Brian D. Miller, another Republican, was elected to replace her. The remainder of the county 's Assembly districts are represented by Democrats : James Skoufis in the 99th district, Aileen Gunther in the 100th district, and Frank Skartados in the 104th district. Skoufis is the youngest New York State legislator currently serving.
