Biohazard and Pathogen Disinfection in Nanuet, NY

Nanuet is a hamlet and census-designated place in the town of Clarkstown in Rockland County, New York, and it is the third largest hamlet in Clarkstown.

The place was originally called Clarkstown, but in 1856, at the suggestion of James De Clark, it was renamed for Munsee Chief Nannawitt.

The Erie Railroad arrived in Rockland County in 1841, and the railroad that became the Pascack Valley Line reached Nanuet in 1869; the hamlet still has a station on that line.

Nanuet had 18,886 residents at the 2020 census, and at the 2000 census it had 16,708 people in 5,975 households.

The opening of the New York State Thruway, the Tappan Zee Bridge and the Palisades Interstate Parkway in the mid-1950s ushered in decades of suburban growth in Nanuet.

The enclosed Nanuet Mall opened on November 4, 1969, and grew to about 900,000 square feet with 120 stores by 1999.

The Nanuet Mall was the site of the notorious 1981 Brink's robbery, in which two police officers and a security guard were murdered during an armored car heist.

After the mall declined and was demolished, it was replaced by the open-air Shops at Nanuet, which opened on October 10, 2013.

Nanuet covers about 5.4 square miles, all of it land.

Nanuet Senior High School, part of the Nanuet Union Free School District, is a two-time U.S. Department of Education National Blue Ribbon School, honored in 2016 and again in 2022.
