Located in Southwestern New York and along the Pennsylvania border, Sullivan County is located in the iconic Catskill Mountains. Named after hero of the American Revolution John Sullivan. Sullivan served under General Washington in the defeat of British General Howe and Long Island, as well as engaging in battle through New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Rhode Island. As the country found itself nearing Civil War, Sullivan County provided a regiment for Union Forces led by John C. Holley.
