History

The former Village of Kiryas Joel in Orange County officially split from Monroe, New York on New Year’s Day 2019, becoming the Town of Palm Tree, New York.

Palm Tree came into being as a result of a 2017 referendum in which more than 80% of Monroe voters opted to branch off into their own town, the paper reported. Palm Tree — all 220 acres and roughly 20,000 residents of it — becomes New York’s first new town since East Rochester, was formed in 1981.
