All about the
Middletown community
Middletown City School District is located in Orange
County, NY, about 65 miles northeast of New York City.
Middletown is part of the Hudson Valley region, near the
Wallkill River, and our district covers all of the city
of Middletown as well as portions
of the towns of Wallkill, Wawayanda, and Goshen.
Middletown is home to the historic Paramount Theatre,
Thrall Library as well as Orange County Community
College, and the beautiful Webb Horton House. In
addition, Horton Memorial Hospital and the Middletown
Psychiatric Center are found here, along with the Times
Herald Record—an award winning newspaper. Skiing, golf,
tennis, swimming, hiking, and other recreational
activities, are all nearby as is the Galleria at Crystal
Run—the largest mall in the area. Middletown is also
home to the Orange County Fair each summer.
Orange County contains a network of major highways.
Noteworthy is the triangle formed by New York Route 17,
the Thruway, and Interstate 84. These greatly facilitate
travel in all directions. There are rail and bus
commuter services to the metropolitan area and passenger
services via major airlines from Stewart International
Airport, located in Newburgh, NY, have been serving our
region for more than a decade.
