Orangetown was first settled around 1680. The town of Orangetown was the first town formed in Rockland County, after the county was established.^{[citation needed]} The first settlers were Dutch men who purchased a tract of land from the Tappan Indians in 1686; their patent of the same year called the place Orange, but it was also known as Orangetown and Tappan (after the first village).^[4] When the state's first twelve counties were established in 1683, the territory that would become Orangetown lay within Orange County. It became part of Rockland County when that county was created in 1798.
