Newburgh Courthouses

Last updated: October 31, 2013

Newburgh is a city prideful of its colonial history, as it is the small-town that General George Washington used as his headquarters during the revolutionary war. In addition to its rich history, the “Crossroads of the Northeast” is known for many other things -- a top-notch motorcycle museum, the beautiful Hudson River, and a picturesque landscape filled with farms for apple picking or lakes for fishing.

If you’re a resident of Orange County, you know there are several of courthouses in the area. If you have a criminal, civil, probate or family law matter, it’s probably in the Supreme or Surrogate’s Court.
