The New York State Thruway allows easy access to and from Albany and New York City. 2.2 Town History The Town of Warwick, as much of the Hudson Valley region, has a long and eventful history. The following historical narrative is taken from a Town history on the Warwick website. From the earliest colonial times, the land that came to be the Town of Warwick housed a well- traveled route. The King’s Highway came up the valley from Pennsylvania and New Jersey and led northeastward to the settlements along the Hudson River and further to New England. Two rail lines, the Warwick Valley Railroad (1860) and the Lehigh and Hudson River Railway, came to eventually follow the same general route. Offices and merchants in the village of Warwick encouraged the growth of that community as a business center, while Wisner and Lake were established as station stops on the railroad.
