The entrance to the Colonial Terraces district is marked by Clinton Square, located at the corner of Fullerton Ave. and Third Street. In the center of the square is a statue of General and Governor George Clinton. From City of Newburgh: "Originally in Colden Square, the statue of Clinton was dedicated on October 6, 1896. A copy of the statue by local sculptor Henry K. Brown that stands in the Capitol in Washington, it was cast in bronze by his nephew, H. K. Bush-Brown. According to Ruttenber in 1881, "it may with truth be said of George Clinton that he was to the State of New York what Washington was to the nation." He served as Brigadier General in the Continental Army, and was the first New York State Governor in 1777."
