Sugar Loaf is a mixed-use hamlet in Orange County, New York, United States.

The most plausible tale is that Elizabeth Dobbin, during her first winter here [circa 1738], gazed up at that huge bald uplifted fault block, shrouded in heavy morning mist, so frosty at the summit yet so greenish-brown at the base, and was reminded of the hard loaves of sugar she and all colonial housewives made in their smokey kitchens.

America's first murder-for-hire took place on "Calamity Corners" at the intersection of Pine Hill and Hambletonian Roads.

The Hamlet of Sugar Loaf lies within the Town of Chester, and hence shares its area code and exchange, 845, 469.

Proponents of the annexation of Sugar Loaf back to Warwick cite this precedent administration.
