Emergency Biohazard Cleanup Services in Maybrook, NY

Maybrook is a village in the town of Montgomery, Orange County, New York, that was not incorporated until 1926, making it the last of Montgomery's three villages to be created.

The 2020 census counted 3,150 residents in Maybrook, and at the 2000 census the village had 3,084 people living in 1,043 households.

Maybrook grew up around Maybrook Yard, a vast railroad switching terminal where eastbound traffic from several railroads was funneled across the Poughkeepsie Bridge over the Hudson River.

At its peak, Maybrook Yard employed more than 1,500 workers and sprawled across 177 tracks totaling some 71 miles of rail, with a 25-stall roundhouse and a large icehouse for refrigerator cars.

The rail junction that became Maybrook was known from 1888 as Orange Junction.

Maybrook's railroad era ended abruptly in 1974, when a fire destroyed the Poughkeepsie Bridge; the yards, terminals and roundhouses were eventually removed, although freight trains still serve the village via the Middletown and New Jersey Railroad.

The Maybrook Railroad Museum, operated by the local railroad historical society inside the Maybrook Government Center, preserves photographs and artifacts from the yard's heyday.

The 6,700-acre Stewart State Forest lies just outside the village, and Maybrook has worked to brand itself as Orange County's outdoor recreation destination.

Children in Maybrook are served by the Valley Central School District, and the village belongs to the Kiryas Joel–Poughkeepsie–Newburgh metropolitan area.
