'Little Britain, New York' is an area in
Orange County, first settled in
1729 by 'Peter Mulliner', a devout
Anglican, who named his farm ''Little Britain''. The name spread to the surrounding region, which at that time was part of
Ulster County, New York.
Little Britain was the birthplace of
New York Governor DeWitt Clinton, his father General
James Clinton and his uncle
U.S. Vice President George Clinton.
Today it lends its name to
Little Britain Elementary School, part of the
Washingtonville school district. The Little Britain
Grange hall also still stands at the intersection of
NY 207 and Drury Lane (soon to be
NY 747).
