Welcome to the beautiful Warwick Valley,
a destination renowned for its Victorian charm, sense
of community, sophisticated culture, and distinctly rural
character. Just 55 miles from New York City, the
Valley includes the Town of Warwick and its three unique
villages of Florida, Greenwood Lake, and Warwick, as
well as New Jersey neighbor, Vernon Township.
Pine Island and Florida’s fertile black dirt produce 25
percent of the nation’s onion crop as well as organic
vegetables, sod, and flower crops. This rich farmland,
formed 12,000 years ago by a glacial lake, was cleared
by hand in the 1880s by Polish and German immigrants
and is farmed today by many of their descendants.
Agriculture continues its economic importance, as
innovative farmers seek alternative uses and markets for
their crops. Find a bounty of fresh local produce in full
bloom from May thru November at The Warwick Valley
Farmers’ Market – named one of the best in the county.
Warwick’s natural beauty extends beyond its farmland to
mountains, streams, and lakes. Greenwood Lake is large
enough to accommodate water sports. It has long been
a popular summer resort of such famous entertainment
and sports figures as Babe Ruth. The 10-mile-long lake
straddles the New York/New Jersey border. Warwick
has achieved the well-earned status of a “Quality
Community” through the New York State Governor’s
office. Discover the agricultural richness of Warwick
and see firsthand why we have been named the Most
Beautiful Village in the World and given the honor of the
“Communities in Bloom International Challenge” winner.
Exciting events, fairs and festivals are held in the
Warwick Valley throughout the year. Whether you are
looking for a family vacation, a romantic retreat, or an
exciting adventure-filled getaway...
