Stuyvesant is located in the northwest corner of
Columbia County on the eastern bank of the Hudson River. It is
bordered by Rensselaer County to the north, the Town of Kinderhook
to the east, and the Town of Stockport to the south.
A town of
approximately 2300 people, Stuyvesant is an agricultural community
dotted with single family residences and small businesses. The
predominance of farming within the community has left its rural
character much the same as it's been for over the last 100 years. Stuyvesant's bucolic landscape belies the fact that it is located
less than 20 miles south of the state capital of Albany, New York.
Centrally located in the state and the region, the town is
approximately two and a half hours from both New York City and
Boston.
Contained within the Town of Stuyvesant are the hamlets of
Stuyvesant Landing and Stuyvesant Falls. The hamlet of Stuyvesant
Falls boasts a view of a spectacular waterfall on the Kinderhook
Creek while Stuyvesant Landing is located directly on the eastern
shore of the beautiful Hudson River with views of the Catskill
Mountains in the distance. Between the two hamlets and comprising
most of the town are the hundreds of acres of rolling farmland for
which the Town of Stuyvesant is most known.
It is the residents of Stuyvesant, however, that are its greatest
natural resource and real treasure. Always ready with a smile or a
helping hand, it is the people that make Stuyvesant the
quintessential upstate rural community.
Whether it's in building a new town hall, putting
up a playground, or throwing a party for the kids in town, it is our
residents that make up the heart and soul of Stuyvesant. A close
knit community located in the picturesque Hudson Valley, that's
Stuyvesant |
