Template:Geobox Bloomingburg, previously Bloomingburgh, is a village in Sullivan County, New York, United States. The population was 420 at the 2010 census.
The Village of Bloomingburg is in the Town of Mamakating.
History
Bloomingburg's accepted incorporation date is 1833. It was the first county seat of Sullivan County, being located in the original county town of Mamakating. It prospered, first, as a center of commerce along the Newburgh–Cochecton Turnpike, then as a railway town serving vacationers in the mountains. Many guesthouses in the village were not rebuilt after the devastating fire of February 1922, and the village has been primarily an agricultural center ever since.
Camp Na-Sho-Pa, a summer sleep-away camp from 1937–2009, was located in Bloomingburg. Camp Echo has also been located in Bloomingburg for almost 90 years.
The Bloomingburg Reformed Protestant Dutch Church was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1980.[1]
A 396- home development known as Chestnut Ridge is being developed in Bloomingburg, with the first phase already open for sale.[2][3] The first approvals for the plan were given in 2006.[4] This is being developed by a Hasidic Jewish company, and many current residents of Bloomingburg perceive this as leading to more Hasidic Jews in the city. This led to various attempts by the village to stop the development.[5] The opposition did not organize until 2012 according to the leader of the anti-development coalition, Holly Roche, because it was not until that time that people realized the developers were Hasidic Jews and that the development would not be a low density golfing community as originally pitched, but a high density apartment block with different utility needs. In 2014 these Hasidic Jews, as well as others seeking to open a school, brought a suit against Bloomingburg for violating RLUIPA, the Fair Housing Act and the 1st and 14th amendments to the US constitution.[6]
Geography
Bloomingburg is located at 41°33′22″N 74°26′28″W / 41.55611°N 74.44111°W (41.556159, -74.441060).[7] The village's eastern boundary is the Shawangunk Kill, Dutch for "Shawangunk River", also the Orange County line at that point, with its western boundary a short distance up the Shawangunk Ridge. It is the only population center in Sullivan County entirely within the Hudson River watershed.
The northern and southern boundaries roughly parallel Main Street, also County Route 171, the former route of NY 17, which now bypasses the village to the north as an expressway. It is served by two exits on Route 17, one for Burlingham Road and the other, just over the county line, for NY 17K.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 0.3 square miles (0.78 km2), all of it land.
