Population: 108,905 Located in Rockland County

The Town of Ramapo is in the southwest corner of Rockland County, where it consists of about one-third of the western part of the county. The name is of Native American origin, meaning either "sweet water" or "sloping rocks". Home of Rockland Community College.

In 2006 Money Magazine ranked Ramapo as the 49th best place in the United States and the best place in New York State to live. Arts and leisure, business, housing, low crime rates and open spaces/parkland determined the towns ranking. In the category of park space, percentage of land set aside for gardens and parks, the town finished first. The town received the highest rating and one of the best in the country for its open spaces and parkland.

In recognition of Ramapo's substantial cultural diversity, former Town Supervisor Herbert Reisman, along with many volunteers from the various communities in Ramapo, started the twinning program. This program is made up of committees that raise funds and organize trips to Ramapo's twin towns around the world, providing local high school students the opportunity to experience life in other lands.

There are currently seven active twinning committees in Ramapo including: Ghana, China, India, Ireland, Israel, Italy and the Philippines.
