Arden is ahamlet around the town line of theOrange County towns ofTuxedo andMonroe in the "boot" ofNew York, United States, west of theHudson River. It is roughly coterminous with the 10910ZIP Code.
The area was originally known as Greenwood, and was noted for theiron works belonging to Robert and Peter P. Parrott, ofParrott gun fame. The Greenwood Furnace was established in 1810; during theAmerican Civil War, the furnace produced the iron for the famous Parrott Gun, which was built inCold Spring by the Parrott brothers. The Parrotts builtSt. John's Episcopal Church in Arden in 1863. By the 1890s, the iron industry in New York was in decline due to the discovery of surface beds of iron inMinnesota.
The hamlet takes its current name from theArden estate built in the area by railroad magnateEdward H. Harriman in the late 19th century. It is today aNational Historic Landmark, but not open to the public. TheOpen Space Institute acquired the building and 540 surrounding acres fromColumbia University for $4.5 million in 2007. In 2011, the Open Space Institute sold the Arden Estate property to another nonprofit organization for $4.5 million.[1]
