Wallkill real estate is all about 'Gunk living! If you’re new to the Shawangunk hamlet of Wallkill, you can’t help but notice the Wallkill River, gorgeous countryside, Shawangunk Ridge vistas and the pretty cow with the yellow-petal neck-ruff on the Welcome to Wallkill sign. She’s Elsie, Borden Dairy’s logo and a reminder that Wallkill owes its existence to John G. Borden. Borden’s dairy has left the neighborhood, but no matter how long he’s been gone, the hamlet of Wallkill will always remember John G. Borden and how the town began as a real estate success story!
It was Borden's father, Gail Borden, who patented condensed milk; John, his youngest son, was the first to put liquid milk in bottles, spent 11 years as president of the company and went looking for a place to build his dream farm. He found it at the top of a hill in what he eventually named Wallkill. The farm extended at one time to about 3,000 acres, and to the bustling village that grew up around it Borden donated land for a school and built workers’ cottages, walking paths and 40 miles of roads, amongst other beneficent acts.
After his death, John’s daughter Marion continued his philanthropic ways; one of her projects was the and Borden Library Park out front, these days full of colorful picnic tables, benches and chairs. Up on Borden Circle is the big, shingled house Marion built for herself alongside the home she grew up in; today it, the homestead and the last surviving barn of the Borden era are the site of the Marion Borden donated land for boys’ and girls’ camps to Wallkill and in her will left a trust for the library, money for the new high school auditorium and other generous gifts. She left the farm to the Masonic Order, who sold it in pieces to other farms. Wallkill's still known for farming today.
