Columbia County NY Real Estate History
In the late 17th century, Robert Livingston, a Scots immigrant by way of Rotterdam, built on his connections as Indian agent in the colony and purchased two large portions of land from the Native Americans. He gained much larger grants from the provincial government, for a total of 160,240 acres. He was made lord of the manor by the Crown, with all its perquisites, and started to develop the property with tenant farmers. In 1710, he sold 6,000 acres of his property to Queen Anne of England for use as work camps and resettlement of Palatine German refugees.
Columbia County was formed in 1786 after the American Revolutionary War. The first exploration of the territory was most likely that of Hendrick Hudson who in 1609 sailed across the Atlantic and up the river which now bears his name. The establishments of Fort Orange ( Albany) and New Amsterdam (New York) in 1624 allowed traders and travelers to frequently stop along the shores of Columbia County.
