Salem is a hamlet (and census-designated place) located in the town of Salem in Washington County, New York, United States. It is part of the Glens Falls Metropolitan Statistical Area.[3] The population was 946 at the 2010 census.[4]
The hamlet is located in the north central part of Town of Salem, at the junction of New York State Route 22 and Washington County routes 30 and 153. It was an incorporated village from 1803 to 2016. Part of the county government was located here, including the jail and the Sheriff's Department. The courthouse, formerly housing the jail, remains a historical landmark in the town. It was built from an E.F. Cummings design in 1869 and remained as the jail until 2004. The Sheriff's Department opened its new sub-station south of the community on Route 22 in August 2007.
Government offices for the Town of Salem are located in the hamlet.[5]
