The 5th New York Regiment was authorized on November 30, 1776, as part of the New York Line for service with the Continental Army. It was organized January 26, 1777, from companies in Southern New York and assigned to the Highlands Department.

The 5th New York was badly mauled at the Battle of Fort Montgomery and Fort Clinton Oct. 6th 1777 with near two-thirds their number killed or captured after a grueling day-long battle.

The regiment would see further action in the Hudson Highlands and the Sullivan Expedition.

The regiment would be merged into the 2nd New York Regiment on January 1, 1781.

Legacy

In 2001, a living history regiment reenacting the 5th New York Regiment was raised in Orange County, NY. The reenactment 5th New York Regiment is currently active all throughout the Hudson Valley and based at its home garrison, Fort Montgomery.
