The area that would become Rockland County was originally inhabited by Algonquin Indians, including Mohegans and Munsees, or Lenni Lenape. In 1609, Henry Hudson, thinking he had found the legendary "Northwest Passage", sailed up the river that would one day bear his name and anchored near the area that is now Haverstraw before continuing to disillusionment at Albany.

The end of the Revolution and the creation of the Northwest Territory in 1787 led to strife as settlement west of the Appalachians, previously forbidden by the British, began to increase. The tribal confederacy in this Northwest Indian War (sometimes known as Little Turtle's War) was blamed for the deaths of 1500 white settlers in the region between 1783 and 1790, probably inflicted in what they saw as lawful defense of their territory under previous treaties. Additionally, the British, allied with the confederacy, wer ...

Before the American Revolution and shortly thereafter, the areas west of the Appalachian and Blue Ridge Mountains were known as the frontier. Travel over the mountains in a wagon was near impossible, except where nature afforded some gap between them. One such gap, Rockfish Gap, is located near Waynesboro, making the area a stop for many who wished to venture west. The area was commonly referred to as Teasville (or Teesville) at that time. It was named after the tavern there owned by Jacob Teas and his wife. It is believed that many s ...

The helicopter has had profound influences on modern warfare. In the Vietnam War, troops were deployed in large part by helicopters. For this reason, US troops in Vietnam saw more than six times as much combat as in any preceding war, because so much less time was spent on logistic delays. The result was that the same size of infantry became at least four times as effective for its size, when supported with fuel, ammunition and helicopters. In the Soviet war in Afghanistan, helicopters were treated much like flying light tanks. ...
