History

Settled in the middle part of the 18th Century, the village grew from its agricultural roots as a stopover on the

Battle of Saratoga. Also during the American Revolution, Martha Washington
stayed at Baird's Tavern, now located on Main Street in the Village.

In 1859, Grinnell Burt along with other local businessmen met to form a new rail line from the

Poughkeepsie Railroad Bridge. With the advent of the age of the automobile, the small passenger business that existed dried up and the last passenger train was run between Warwick and Greycourt on July 8, 1939. The L&HR was the largest single employer in the village of Warwick, but with the decline of rail and the burning of the Poughkeepsie Bridge in May 1974, the L&HR was deemed irrelevant and the bankrupt railroad was folded into Conrail
in 1976.

Without any link to a major highway, Warwick avoided the rapid development of other town in Orange County at the beginning of the 21st Century and maintains its small town charm to this day. one hundred and thirty acres (53 hectares) along Routes 94 and 17A in the center of the village are listed on the National Register of Historic Places as the Warwick Village Historic District. Buildings there range from the oldest in the village, the 1764 Shingle House, preserved and maintained by the Historical Society of the Town of Warwick, also known as the Warwick Historical Society, to large early 20th-century cottages built by weekend vacationers from New York City.
