Community Information:
Real Estate in Deer Park, NY:
Dutch colonists attempted to settle the town in the 17th Century.
The town was organized in 1798 after Port Jervis was set apart from the territory. The town was part of a boundary dispute between New York and the State of New Jersey. The dispute was not settled until 1874.
The former Delaware and Hudson Canal was partly in the town. The southwest town line is the border of Pennsylvania, marked by the Delaware River. The western and northern town lines are the border of Sullivan County, New York. The Neversink River flows through the town. The city of Port Jervis is located in the southern corner of the town, and a small portion of the town borders on Montague Township, New Jersey.
US Route 209 parallels the course of the Neversink River. The Hawk's Nest scenic overlook along New York State Route 97 offers views of the Delaware River. Interstate 84 passes through the southern portion of town near the New Jersey state line.
