- Summary
- Summer in the Catskills was a classic vacation for millions of American Jewish families. Known as the Borscht Belt, the towns of Sullivan County were home to resorts, entertainers, and the ultimate "day camp" for generations. Dive into the pool. Welcome to day camp. All of this and more are here in Sullivan County: the Borscht Belt. Relive the world of "Dirty Dancing": Sullivan County, the Borscht Belt, the Catskills -- all are synonyms for the greatest American Jewish resort area, the playground of about one million visitors a year during its peak from 1920 to 1970. The Sullivan County of Borscht Belt legend really consists of the eastern part of Sullivan County and a bit of southern Ulster County. Here are the large towns of Liberty, Monticello, and Ellenville and the small towns of Woodbourne, Hasbrouck, South Fallsburg, Livingston Manor, Fallsburg, Loch Sheldrake, Greenfield Park, Mountaindale, Accord, Ulster Heights, Kiamesha Lake, Kerhonkson, Swan Lake, Glen Wild, Hurleyville, Ferndale, White Sulphur Springs, Rock Hill, Parksville, Woodridge, and White Lake. In Sullivan County: Borscht Belt, you will find the lost world of the kuchaleins and bungalow colonies and the hotels, great and small. This was a world to be enjoyed, whether swimming in the Neversink River, watching unmatched entertainment, or eating the legendary Borscht Belt meals.
