Stuyvesant

The Hudson River defines the setting of Stuyvesant — its broad tidal channel forms the community’s western edge and links this rural part of Columbia County with the opposite shore. Set in New York’s Hudson Valley, the town occupies a quieter stretch of river country, where wooded banks, open fields and small settlements contrast with the larger cities along the waterway. Created in 1823 from part of Kinderhook, Stuyvesant was named for Peter Stuyvesant, the Dutch colonial official. Country roads and riverside routes keep the Hudson at the centre of the area’s sense of place.
