The Congers-Valley Cottage Ambulance Corps came into existence in May of 1965, with the ambulance going into service on November 1st, 1966 (the first actual call was the following day at 12:30).

Born out of the necessity for further coverage because of the increasing population in Congers, Valley Cottage and Rockland Lake, the American Legion Post #1452 became the Corps' sponsor, advancing the necessary funds for operations.
