Putnam County is one of the most affluent counties in
America, ranked 11th by median household income, and 47th by
per-capita income, according to the year 2000 census. After
WWII, Putnam County
became an exurb of New York City.
Rapid development occurred as Putnam County became a bedroom
community. However, the protection of Putnam county's reservoirs put
a brake on development, as much of the land in the county is close
to wetlands or reservoirs. Since
World War Two, the county has seen the development of the Taconic
State Parkway as well as several state routes.
The
county has six public school districts: Brewster, Carmel, Garrison,
Haldane, Mahopac, and Putnam Valley. .
The
library system consists of eight libraries; the Brewster Public
Library in Brewster; the Kent Public Library in Kent; the Reed
Memorial Library in Carmel; the Julia L. Butterfield Library in Cold
Spring; the Alice Curtis Desmond and Hamilton Fish Library in
Garrison; the Mahopac Public Library in Mahopac; the Patterson
