SUNY Orange has touched the lives of countless numbers of the county’s 350,000 residents through its credit programs, non-credit programming and cultural events. As the needs of the community grow, the college will continue to play a significant role in the county’s endeavor to face the challenges and to profit from the opportunities that await it. SUNY Orange was founded in 1950 as the first county-sponsored community college in the State University of New York system. Morrison Hall, the stately turn-of-the-century mansion that serves as the architectural centerpiece of the College’s Middletown campus, was donated to Orange County by Mrs. Christine Morrison as part of the College's formation. The four-story mansion sits atop a hill overlooking the Hudson Valley from the front and the beautiful, lush lawn and buildings that make up the Middletown campus from the back. Morrison Hall was originally built for the family of Webb Horton, a retired industrialist. (more information about Webb Horton can be found in: Webb Horton: Tannery King by Kathleen Malia, professor emerita of the SUNY Orange English Department).
