New Windsor, the setting: Hudson River to the east, level neighborhoods at the center, then rolling hills and pastoral scenes to the west. You'll note when reading the history of other areas around Orange County comments to the effect of "Washington slept here...." overnight or for some notably brief time. In New Windsor there is no doubt that ol' George was here for an extended run at the end of the Revolutionary War with the final encampment of the Continental Army over the winter of 1782-3. The sleeping part, though? Not so much here as George made his permanent stay at the Jonathan Hasbrouck house in Newburgh, six miles away. 120 acres of the original 1600 acre 'cantonment' is preserved as a State Historic site.

Homes for Rent in New Windsor NY The availability of homes for rent in New Windsor NY is quite high right now, as owners who have been relocated to other parts of the county have held onto their NY properties - not able to sell them for what they paid for them, so they rent them out instead.
