The Orchards of Concklin has put its stamp on the Pomona region. The Pomona region is named after the goddess of fruit in honor of Nicholas Concklin, the founder of the farm.

The Concklins first came to America in 1637 from Nottingham, England. John and Anias Concklin were members of the first Presbyterian Church of Salem, Massachusetts. The family migrated to Rhode Island, then across to Long Island. The Concklins settled in Cutchogue for a while and then moved up to Eastchester in Westchester County.

Nicholas Concklin sailed across the Hudson to Haverstraw and walked inland to the Pomona region in 1711. There he bought 400 acres of the Kakiat patent Lot No. 1.

The family owned and operated the land continuously through the American Revolution, the Civil War, and the first metropolitan pressures of the early 20th century.
