Middletown (NJT station)

Middletown is a passenger railway station on New Jersey Transit's North Jersey Coast Line, located in Middletown Township, New Jersey. The station is made up of two high-level platforms and two tracks. The platforms often become very crowded with commuters in the morning rush-hour.

The old Middletown station is directly to the north of the current platform and was active until high level boarding and electrified service began in 1988.

Middletown (Erie Railroad station)

Middletown was the main station along the Erie Railroad mainline in the city of Middletown, New York. Located on Depot Street, the station was first opened in 1843 with construction of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad, which had originally terminated at Goshen. The station was located along the New York Division, which stretched from Pavonia Terminal in Jersey City, New Jersey to the Sparrowbush station just north of Port Jervis.

The building was opened in 1896 to replace one that had been in use since 1843 when the New York and Erie began service to the city. The Romanesque Revival building was designed by George E. Archer, Chief Architect of the New York, Lake Erie and Western Railroad, later the Erie Railroad.

The building served as a railroad station until 1983, when rail service was taken over by MTA's Metro-North Railroad. Service on the route of Erie's original Main Line was discontinued in favor of the Graham Line, an Erie-built freight line now used by Norfolk Southern and the Port Jervis Line and was replaced by the Middletown Metro-North station. The old station depot was renovated and restored, becoming the Thrall Library in 1995.

Middletown (New Rochelle)

Middletown is a former hamlet of the Town of New Rochelle in Westchester County, New York. The hamlet took shape in the central portion of New Rochelle, extended along North Avenue from the vicinity of Rochelle Park to the southerly boundary of the Wykagyl Country Club grounds. The origin of the name is traceable to a division of the town road districts. As early as 1747, there were two main districts: "upper" and "below". An increase in population after the Revolutionary War warranted the further subdivision of the town into five road districts in 1787. One was named "Middle" to distinguish it from the "Upper", "Waterside" and "Town" districts. By this time the district had become quite well built up so as to make the term "town" appropriate. Hence it became "Middletown". The name was so appropriate to the hamlet that it was indicated on road maps beginning in 1789.

There was at least one tavern in the hamlet, the Bayeux Tavern, which was located opposite the entrance to present day Paine Avenue. The tavern was of considerable importance to the community at the time. Just across the road was the farm and cottage of Thomas Paine. There were several minor industries in the hamlet as well. Jacob Coutant had a chair factory located west of North Avenue which was powered by water from Stephenson Brook which flowed into Huguenot Lake. A number of mechanics operated shops on their small farms, and in the vicinity of the present Fifth Avenue where the houses were quite close together.

A school had been established just above the present Paine Avenue before the Revolution, and in 1809 it was removed to the junction of Eastchester Road. There being no public school law in the State of New York in force at the time, this new "Middle School" was erected by popular subscription pursuant to a resolution adopted by the citizens living within the hamlet, many of whom contributed the necessary labor, materials and financing. Upon the enactment of a new school law by the State in 1812 it was appropriated for a legalized public school for the hamlet. By 1815 the' Middle School District' boundaries were laid out, significantly extending the town limits of "Middletown". The school was removed out of the hamlet in 1829 to a new building on Mechanic Street, and, from that point on, the growth of the Village of New Rochelle along the Turnpike Road (now Main Street) came at the expense of other parts of the town. "Middletown" gradually lapsed back into a farming district.
