MARLBOROUGH was formed as a precinct, from Newburgh Precinct, March 12, 1772, and as a town, March 7, 1788. Plattekill was taken off in 1800. It lies upon the Hudson, in the south-east corner of the County. The surface is broken and hilly. Marlborough Mountain is a rocky ridge along the west border, about 1,000 feet above the river. The streams are principally small brooks flowing into the Hudson. The soil is a slaty loam. It is estimated that half a million dollars are expended for berries in this town in a single season.

This was quite a thriving place before the settlements were made on the river. There are several houses in the town, built previous to the Revolution. One about half a mile north of the village of Marlborough, was built by Major Louis DuBois. Previous to the Revolution he held the commission of Lieutenant in the Colonial army, but when the separation took place, he adhered to his country and served as Major. His house was not far from the river, and during Vaughan’s expedition, when Kingston was burnt, it was pointed out by the “Cow Boys,” and hot shot were through at it, but to no effect. The house is still standing and was newly shingled during the last summer, the first time in the memory of the oldest inhabitants. The shingles taken off were the old fashioned three feet cedar shingles. The present owner is Mr. Samuel Harris. The Exchange Hotel, of Marlborough, is a relic of a past generation,it has been rebuilt, but four of the rooms remain the same as during the Revolution.
Further east lies the Route 9W commercial corridor, including the Hamlets of Marlboro and Milton. From the hamlets the land falls off dramatically with waterfalls and cliffs to the Hudson River where there is a riverfront park, restored 1885 train station and marinas.
