Pawling, New York is a charming town offering stunning scenery steeped
in history.
Originally formed from the Beekman Precinct on May 20, 1769, the town of
Pawling has been called the Hudson Valley's best-kept secret. Despite
being connected to Manhattan via the Harlem Line, the town and village
of Pawling have never let go of their picturesque charm. The grand
vistas continue to provide the same unimpeded views they have for
centuries. Pawling was the site of General Washington's headquarters in
1778 and the residence of two-time Republican nominee for president Gov.
Thomas E. Dewey. It has been called home by some of the richest and most
famous people in the United States, and yet it retains its modest and
unassuming character. Pawling has always been a curious mix of farmers,
politicians, merchants, artists, and entrepreneurs. For more than 200
years, both the affluent and ordinary men and women of the area have
benefited from the undeniable scenic beauty of Pawling.
