Maybrook, New York
Maybrook is a village in Orange County, New York, United States. The population was 3,150 at the 2020 census. It is part of the Kiryas Joel-Poughkeepsie–Newburgh, NY Metropolitan Statistical Area as well as the larger New York–Newark–Bridgeport, NY-NJ-CT-PA Combined Statistical Area.
It is located mostly in the town of Montgomery, but a small portion is in the town of Hamptonburgh. It is also defined by the 427 telephone exchange in the 845 area code and the 12543 ZIP code, as well as its own eponymous fire district.
Maybrook is located at 41°29′12″N 74°12′52″W / 41.48667°N 74.21444°W (41.486660, −74.214463).
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.3 square miles (3.4 km2), all land. The village is centered on NY 208, which runs through it for the village's two-mile (3.2 km) length in a northeast–southwest orientation, from the small extension in the Town of Hamptonburgh to its northern boundary. By contrast, it is only one mile wide at its widest point, near its south end, and even narrower to the north.
The village is mostly flat, rising up to hills on its western side. The summit of one is its highest elevation, at 520 feet (160 m) above sea level. Maybrook's lowest point is a swampy, undeveloped area in iterns northeast corner, 360 feet (110 m) in elevation.
In 1930 Thomas "Archie" Stewart, an early aviation enthusiast and descendant of prominent local dairy farmer Lachlan Stewart, convinced his uncle Samuel Stewart to donate "Stoney Lonesome", split between the towns of Newburgh and New Windsor, to the nearby city of Newburgh for use as an airport.
In the early 1970s, Governor Nelson Rockefeller's administration saw the potential for Stewart Airport to support the metropolitan area. Its long runway made it particularly attractive for intercontinental service via supersonic transport (SST), then under development in the U.S. and elsewhere. The Metropolitan Transportation Authority was the first government body to try to convert it into the New York metropolitan area's fourth major airport. It tripled the airport's territory, extending its land well beyond its previous western boundary at Drury Lane, a two-lane rural road. The state government used its eminent domain powers to take 7,500 acres (3,000 ha) for terminals, runways and a buffer zone expanding the airport from Newburgh into neighboring towns of Montgomery and a small portion of Hamptonburgh. The land was bounded by I-84 to the north, NY 207 along the south and roughly by Rock Tavern and Maybrook in the west.
As of the census of 2000, there were 3,084 people, 1,043 households, and 780 families residing in the village. The population density was 2,306.3 inhabitants per square mile (890.5/km2). There were 1,077 housing units at an average density of 805.4 per square mile (311.0/km2). The racial makeup of the village was 82.81% white, 8.98% African American, .29% Native American, 1.2% Asian, 3.99% from other races, and 2.72% from two or more races. Hispanic or Latino of any race were 12.74% of the population.
