ABOUT STONY POINT

Stony Point is the youngest and most mountainous of the five townships in Rockland County. The town was formed by an act of the New York State Legislature on March 20, 1865. Until that time Stony Point was the northern portion of the Town of Haverstraw. Previously the area was known by several different names such as Antioch, Flora Falls, North Haverstraw, Knight's Corners and Caldwell's Landing. The history is rich with colonial Dutch and English settlers purchasing land from the Algonquin Indians.

On July 15, 1779, General Anthony Wayne and his men attacked a British fortification located on the peninsula at Stony Point. The peninsula, situated on the west bank of the Hudson River about 10 miles (16 km) south of West Point and 35 miles (56 km) north of New York City, was the western terminus of the King's ferry.

Fire Department History

It all started way back in 1894 when 22 young men decided to form a volunteer fire company in Stony Point. Their first move was to purchase a hand drawn hose cart with 500 feet of hose. They had no quarters and the hose cart was kept in a barn. Then in 1897 they moved into a brick firehouse on the south side of West Main Street opposite Allison Hall, which was then the town hall. Time marches on! A new two story firehouse was constructed on the west side of Route 9W and the company moved in 1955. The community was growing and the need for better fire protection on the south side of the bridge prompted the purchasing of Station No. 2, on the west side of Central Highway, which was opened in 1974.
