Warwick (New York)
Warwick was established in the beginning of the 18th century, when Benjamin Aske named his land Warwick, after the Warwick district in England, where he was from. He started selling plots to settlers in 1719. More and more people moved into the area and in 1789, Warwick was officially incorporated as a town.
