Cornwall-on-Hudson is a riverfront village in the town of Cornwall, Orange County, New York, United States.

It lies on the west bank of the Hudson River, approximately 50 miles (80 km) north of New York City.

Settlement in the area occurred at Cornwall Landing, a hamlet on the Hudson River below Butter Hill.

The Landing began to decline after World War II when passenger train service ended, and Conrail demolished the buildings.

Barr, an American writer born in the 19th century, lived here during the most prolific and successful period of her career.

Campers would take the Hudson River Day Line ferry from the city to Cornwall and then proceed to the camp.

Located just 50 miles (80 km) north of New York City, the village borders the western shore of the Hudson River.

While the village is primarily residential, it has a small commercial center and many riverfront homes adjacent to Donahue Memorial Park, formerly known as Cornwall Landing.

[citation needed] As of the census[4] of 2000, there were 3,058 people, 1,181 households, and 824 families residing in the village.
