Stuyvesant NY History
Stuyvesant is a town of approximately 2,300 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.
According to the U. S. Census for 2000, the town has a total area of 26.8 square miles and a population of 2,188 people, 97% white. The median income for a household is $49,904 and the per capita income for the town is $21,314.
Explorer Henry Hudson visited the region in 1609. The area, being next to the Hudson River, was settled before 1650. In the 1700s fur traders used the river at Kinderhook Landing. Stuyvesant became a separate township in 1823.
An agricultural community, it is also home to the Stuyvesant Falls a two stop natural waterfalls in the Kinderhook Creek which was used by paper and textile mills in the 1800s. Brick making was also a local industry, as well as ice harvesting. Freight sloops made regular trips to New York City. Stuyvesant had freight and passenger service through the World War II years. Today residents commute to Albany and Hudson for work and have second homes in the area.

Spectacular views of the upper and lower falls can be viewed from the historic iron truss bridge in the hamlet that spans the creek. The area at the north end of town became known as Poolsburgh, named after the VanderPoel family who settled there. They were instrumental in planning the course of the Farmer’s Turnpike (now Route 9J) which was charted in 1813.
Stuyvesant Falls had rail service from 1891 to 1929. At first powered by steam, the railroad was electrified by the turn of the century and extended to Albany. The power that operated the third rail for the Albany & Southern Railway Company was generated at Stuyvesant Falls.
Today, just over 2,000 people call Stuyvesant home. Community pride is reflected by many active volunteer groups and celebrated yearly on Historic Stuyvesant Day held the second Saturday of August.
