Cornwall is conveniently located 50 miles north of New York City, and 5 miles north of the United States Military Academy at West Point, NY, in scenic Orange County. Cornwall is set in the valley formed by Schunemunk Mountain and the Hudson Highland ridges along the Hudson River. Cornwall encompasses the Village of Cornwall-on-Hudson, as well as the historic hamlets of Bethlehem, Mountainville, Salisbury Mills, Canterbury and Idlewild. In 1609, the English navigator Henry Hudson, thinking he was in a straight leading to the Pacific, sailed up the Hudson and, reaching shallow water, anchored off what is now Cornwall, recording in his ship's log: "This is a very pleasant place to build a town on."
