Saint Andrew, New York

Saint Andrew is a hamlet in Orange County, in the U.S. state of New York.

[1] The hamlet of St. Andrew's was founded in the 18th century on land belonging to Henry Wileman's land patent of 3,000 acres[2] and took its name from the St. Andrew's Episcopal Congregation and Church.

Ten acres of land for the church, parsonage, and grounds, along with a 240-acre farm, were donated by Peter Dubois and Richard Bradley.

During the Revolutionary War, a company of soldiers camped during the winter of 1782 in an area west of the village.

[2] In 1806, "several gun-barrels, and an old wrought hand-grenade, with other warlike implements" were discovered in the cellar of a brick farmhouse nearby, which had decayed due to the removal of lead from the pediment and roof for the casting of musket balls.
