Hamptonburgh is a town located in the north central part of Orange County, New York, United States.
Hamptonburgh was named by an early settler, William Bull, for his place of birth, Wolverhampton, England.
William Bull and Sarah Wells are buried in the Hamptonburgh Cemetery.
The town was established in 1830 from parts of the Towns of Blooming Grove, Goshen, and Montgomery, including land which previously belonged to Loyalist Fletcher Mathews (brother of David Mathews who was Mayor of New York City) during its occupation by the British during the American Revolution).
According to An Outline History of Orange County by Samuel Watkins Eager p. 378, the hamlet of Campbell Hall was named for Colonel Campbell who was a Scotchman, had two sons, and when the war of the Revolution commenced, one son sided with England, the other with his adopted country.
12.9% of all households were made up of individuals, and 4.2% had someone living alone who was 65 years of age or older.
It is also the location of the Otterkill Fire Department and the Campbell Hall post office.
Its economy is derived from a number of sources: The General Store, Campbell Hall Salvage, American Fence, a Service Station, the Bull's Head Inn, and a number of horse and dairy farms.
Campbell Hall also is home to Orange AHRC, the Otterkill Golf and Country Club, and a Metro-North train station.
