Nyack

Nyack

      village in the towns (townships) of Clarkstown and Orangetown, Rockland county, southeastern New York, U.S. It lies on the west bank of the Hudson River (there known as the Tappan Zee) about 25 miles (40 km) north of New York City. Settled in 1684, it was named for an Algonquian-speaking Native American people and depended on agriculture, fishing, and stone quarrying. After being connected by a railroad in 1874, it developed light industries, and, with the adjacent villages of Upper Nyack and South Nyack and the hamlets of Central Nyack and West Nyack, it forms a residential area for New York City. The Tappan Zee Bridge (1956) connects Nyack with Tarrytown on the opposite bank. The birthplace of the painter Edward Hopper (Hopper, Edward) is preserved as an art centre. Pop. (1990) 6,558; (2000) 6,737.
