Discover Piermont, NY: A Scenic Hudson Valley Gem

Nestled along the Hudson River in Rockland County, Piermont, NY is a charming riverside village that perfectly blends natural beauty, history, and small-town warmth. With its walkable downtown, art galleries, boutique shops, and renowned restaurants, Piermont offers the perfect balance of tranquility and vibrancy—just over 20 miles from New York City.

A Village Rich in History

Piermont’s name comes from two of its most iconic features: the long pier extending into the Hudson and nearby Tallman Mountain. Once a bustling 19th-century railroad and shipping hub, the village has evolved into a haven for artists, outdoor enthusiasts, and those seeking a slower pace of life.

During World War II, more than 40,000 U.S. troops per month passed through Piermont’s pier—the largest port of embarkation on the East Coast—earning it the nickname “Last Stop U.S.A.”
