The Borscht Belt in the Catskill Mountains of New York State was spread aross Sullivan, Ulster and Orange counties.
SOTN Editor’s Note: What follows is an exhaustive list of Borscht Belt hotels, motels, bungalow colonies, cottage communities and summer camps located in the Catskill Mountains of New York State, from approximately 1910 through the 1970s. For over seven decades, these summer vacation spots and retreat sites where visited predominantly by the greater New York City area Jewish population. Is there any other nationality or religious group or race or cultural association who ever built hundreds upon hundreds of vacation destinations in one place for their exclusive use during a period of American history when only the turn-of-the-century robber barons enjoyed such wealth, luxuries and privileges? Middle class Americans only started taking vacations like this in the mid 1960s, but even those corporate employees rarely got more than two weeks off a year.
