Old Chatham Land Conserved Forest
158 acre of carefully cared for forest, lots of oak and hickory, this is a state forestry program with greatly reduced taxes.
Old Chatham ranges from moderate homes to magnificent estates and horse properties. Its totally rural feel was somewhat changed by the construction of interstate 90 through its heart, but it leads to greater convenience in accessing Chatham from New York and Massachusetts.
Old Chatham Land Conserved Forest is in
Chatham who’s early settlers were Dutch, but later Quakers and New Englanders. The Town of Chatham was formed from the Towns of Canaan and Kinderhook in 1795. Contradictory of its current condition or image, Chatham, in fact, was an industrial center of multiple inter-state rail lines in the early 1900s. The village was a hub of the New York Central, Boston and Albany, and Rutland railroads, with three wyes and one roundhouse.
Chatham Village has only one traffic light; right turn on red is allowed at that intersection. It has 49 stop signs, 11 yield signs, and one traffic circle. Previous to the NYDOT renovations, cars driving in the traffic circle on Main Street yielded to cars entering the circle, which is an unusual traffic pattern. This pattern was changed to be in compliance with NY state traffic laws in 2008.
Chatham is host to the Columbia County Fair: Late August-Early September. Other events at the fair grounds include an Auto Show, a 4th of July Celebration, a Civil War Reenactment in the Summer and the Fire Fighters parade.
The north end of the Taconic State Parkway is in the town and Interstate 90 passes through the town. New York State Route 66 and New York State Route 203 intersect in the town.
According to the U. S. Census for 2000, the town has a total area of 53.5 square miles and a population of 4,249, 96% white. The median income for a household is $49,234 and the per capita income for the town is $28,599.
