===Early history=== The [[Tappan tribe]] were a [[Lenape]] people who inhabited the region radiating from the [[Hudson Palisades]] and the [[New York β New Jersey Highlands]] at the time of European colonization in the 17th century.<ref>{{cite web|author=Hugh C. MacDougall |url=http://external.oneonta.edu/cooper/susan/hudson.html |title=James Fenimore Cooper Society Home Page |publisher=External.oneonta.edu |date=1989-09-15 |accessdate=2022-07-20}}</ref> "Tappan" is derived from the [[Lenape]] word "tuphanne" thought to mean "cold water." The first [[Orange County, New York|Orange County]] courthouse was built in 1691 in Tappan, though by 1737, sessions alternated between Tappan and [[Goshen (village), New York|Goshen]]. The first school house in Rockland County was built in 1711 in Tappan. It was used as a school until 1860. There would not be another school in the county until late in the 18th century.
