Welcome to Downtown Newburgh

We are Glad you are here!

A city perched on the western shore of the majestic Hudson River, Newburgh is home to a diverse community steeped in American history and culture.

Step into history, visit George Washington’s Headquarters, where pivotal Revolutionary War decisions were made. As an industrial powerhouse, the city played a key role in technological history—Thomas Edison established one of the world’s first central electric stations right here in downtown Newburgh.

With striking views of Storm King and Beacon mountains, Newburgh is the birthplace of American landscape architecture, shaped by visionaries like Alexander Jackson Downing, Calvert Vaux, and Frederick Law Olmsted.

That dynamism continues today! The downtown thrives as a cultural district filled with fabricators, makers, and artists. Long-standing businesses and new ventures offer everything from delicious flavors and wellness classes to curated gifts, reflecting the city’s creative and entrepreneurial spirit.

Newburgh and its people invite you to experience this unique blend of past and present.

Signed Sincerely,

Erica, Rosa, and Naomi
