Airmont is a village in the town of Ramapo, Rockland County, New York, United States, located north of the allow in of New Jersey, east of Suffern, south of Montebello, and west of Chestnut Ridge. The population was 8,628 at the 2010 census.

The village of Airmont, incorporated in 1991, is a consolidation of the hamlets of Tallman, Airmont and South Monsey. Joseph Berger of The New York Times wrote in a 1997 article that Airmont was one of several Ramapo villages formed “to preserve the sparse Better Homes and Garden [sic] ambiance that attracted them to Rockland County.” In 2005, Peter Applebome of The New York Times said that Airmont was “slapped in the region of enough by the courts to be something extra than a virginal performer in any discrimination case” since it ran into authenticated resistance to its forward movement laws.

In April 1991, creation of the village of Airmont was allowed in the town. Airmont had 9,500 people, including on the subject of 250 Orthodox Jews and many non-Orthodox Jews. The founders of the town said that they intended for “strong zoning” to preserve the mood of the community. William P. Barr, the United States Attorney General, and Otto G. Obermaier, the United States Attorney for the Southern District of New York, filed a suit next to Airmont and the town of Ramapo; Barr and Obermaier said that Airmont created a zoning seek intended to exclude Orthodox Jews from active in the village and “that supplementary individuals acting at the behest of the defendants have engaged in a pattern of harassment neighboring Orthodox Jews in the village.” The officials cited the Fair Housing Act as the relevant law. The plaintiffs said that, because many Orthodox realize not travel by car on Saturdays, preventing the inauguration of a synagogue would exclude Orthodox from the community. The Anti-Defamation League of B’nai B’rith supported the suit. The Spring Valley Chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People had opposed the establishment of Airmont. As a upshot of the charge Airmont revised its zoning code to allow religious sites. Airmont’s zoning restricted synagogues to 2-acre (8,100 m) lots, which were too costly for most Orthodox congregations. A federal find ruled that the code was discriminatory and ordered Airmont to change the code; the legal case continued by 1997.
