Hyde Park NY History
Henry Hudson discovered the river named for him in 1609. This gave access to the lands to be purchased from the Indians by patentees. Settlement of the region officially began around 1742, but may have begun as early as 1710. Dr. John Bard had called his estate “Hyde Park” in honor of Edward Hyde, who was Lord Cornbury and Governor of New York. In 1804 a tavern keeper took the name, “Hyde Park Inn” and then applied for a post office, which was named Hyde Park Post Office. The area slowly started to be commonly called “Hyde Park” and in 1812, the settlement’s name was changed from Stoutenburgh to Hyde Park.
Originally the area was definitely a farming community. Grain was the main crop, which brought the need for mills. There were several kinds of mills on the Crum Elbow Creek: grist, saw, plaster, edge tools, nails and fulling. For some unknown reason about 1914 the sturgeon disappeared. Staatsburg became well know for the ice cutting industry on the river. Huge icehouses were built on the river’s edge and men were employed to cut and store the ice, which was transported by barges to New York and Albany in the spring. The Hyde Park blacksmith invented a liniment good for man or beast. This was made in Hyde Park and sold in the leading drugstore in Poughkeepsie.
Hyde Park NY Real Estate Today
Hyde Park is known as the hometown of Franklin D. Roosevelt, the 32nd President of the United States, the Vanderbilt mansion, the Mills Mansion and Val-Kill the home of Eleanor Roosevelt as well as the Culinary Institute of America main campus, a four-year college for culinary and baking and pastry arts, and the Franklin D. Roosevelt Presidential Library and Museum, the first presidential library in the United States.
Although there have been many changes in the area some things remain the same. The milestones suggested by Benjamin Franklin and erected to inform the horse riding postal carriers of mileage can still be seen along the highway. The large sycamore trees along Route 9 have been growing for 250 years and are still majestic and healthy. The original churches still exist. Hyde Park today is a residential community with very little industry, although neighboring municipalities are the home for major companies
