A county in NY that everyone except itself seems to regard as part of a depressed region known as Upstate New York. While that may not be entirely accurate, Rockland county is an outer-suburban wasteland, not even on par with Westchester in terms of wealth and urbanization (as sad as that sounds.) However, it does have some Sopranos fame; Ralph Cifaretto's head was buried in Sloatsburg and Adriana was whacked by Silvio in a forest in Ramapo.

Located 15 minutes outside of NYC. Thats about where it ends. People in Rockland brag that they are "part" of the city, but in reality they are a bunch of townies. They all live in little towns with no sidewalks. Most of the people there are inbred, or just plain ol' retarded. They try comparing themselves to westchester and L.I. but dont understand that nobody cares what they say, and that at heart they are upstate townies.
Townie "Yo im from Rockland"
City Guy "where the f*ck is that"
Townie "You know not far from the gw bridge"
City Guy " Does it took like I care, you upstater"

Southern most New York county west of the Hudson River. Upstate only to those from one of the five boroughs of NYC or from the far western part of Long Island. Rockland is not overdeveloped as Westchester, and its towns are not mass-produced such as those in Nassau or Suffolk counties.
Rocklander: My house is the yellow one on the left.
guy from Westchester: couldn't afford a house like this in Westchester?
Rocklander: Couldn't find more than a quarter acre of property except near Putnam County or that wasn't already a golf course.
Long Islander: Why are all the houses different? They aren't even all yellow!

For all you uneducated idiots posting on here saying that Rockland has no history or any connections to Manhattan is untrue. People were living in Rockland county before they lived on Long Island. I am from Westchester County, everyone here knows where Rockland is and most likly has family over the "bridge". It is also a known fact that People from Manhattan have a tendency to move North to the counties of Rockland, Westchester in NY and Fairfeild in CT. The only place on long island that even remotely worth speaking of is the Hamptons and the fact that Brooklyn and Queens are on Long Island West end, everything else in between is lower class, ghetto wanna be's. People from BK and the rest of the city think that long island is trashy, ghetto, they have fake accents like they all hail from the city yet they all live 115 miles out in Farimingdale and Hicksville, do you hear these names of towns, yet rockland and or westchester seem to be hickish and upstate...Read a book Rockland has more ties to the city then Long Island wants to admit and thats why everyone hates on Rockland....LOGN ISLAND SHOULD SINK!
If rockland is wack then why was it voted by money magazine and forbes as being one of the most expensive place to live in the US along side all other NYC suburbs? Read a book...

Nobody cares if some place is like 5 seconds north of the city, all Long islanders hear is "north" and think "oh you live in the country"
