South Nyack is a village incorporated in 1878 in the town of Orangetown in Rockland County, New York, in the United States. It is located north of Grand View-on-Hudson, northeast of Orangeburg, east of Blauvelt State Park, south of Nyack and west of the Hudson River. The village is the western terminus of the Tappan Zee Bridge. Its population was 3,510 at the 2010 census.
Following the extension of the Northern Branch of The New Jersey Railroad into the area in the mid-19th century, rapid growth ensued. Town government no longer being seen as an effective means of dealing with the area's needs, village incorporation was discussed. Fearing higher taxes, those in what would have become the northern part of Nyack village formed their own municipal corporation first, named Upper Nyack. Nyack village still incorporated, although without this northern portion. Residents in the southern part of Nyack village, however, soon became dissatisfied with the notion of paying taxes that more heavily benefitted the rest of the village. After succeeding in dissolving Nyack's corporation, the southern portion of the former village incorporated as the village of South Nyack. The area between Upper Nyack and South Nyack was reincorporated thereafter, again as Nyack.
According to the United States Census Bureau, the village has a total area of 1.7 square miles (4.4 km2), of which 0.6 square miles (1.6 km2) is land and 1.1 square miles (2.8 km2), or 63.31%, is water. South Nyack is located adjacent to the Hudson River.
