Henry Hudson was probably the first European explorer to visit the site of what is now the City of Hudson, in his ship the "Half Moon" in 1609. Mohican Indians inhabited the area then, and continued to habit the area until much later.
The Dutch arrived in the 17th Century and developed the area of Greenport and Hudson. In 1783, a group of seafaring men from Massachusetts and Rhode Island were seeking a safe harbor for their vessels because of attacks by the British Navy. When they saw Claverack Landing with its high bluffs, deep waters, and two bays, they appointed a committee which proceeded to buy large tracts of land, much more extensive than what is now Hudson.

Today, Hudson is known for its Antique Shops and Art Galleries, that draw visitors from throughout the Tri-State area and New England.

Philmont was incorporated in 1892. The community was also known as "Factory Hill" due to the number of wool factories.
The area was first settled by the Dutch in the mid-17th century. Like so many other mill towns in the Northeast, Philmont went through a long period of recovery as mills and textile operations moved out of the area. The exodus of manufacturers is the main reason that so much of the architectural heritage of the area still presides.

Today, Philmont is a growing village and is fast becoming a popular destination with its proximity to Hudson, New York City and the Berkshires.

First settled in 1710 as the "East Camp" by some 1,200 Palatine refugees from the Rhineland, the District of Germantown was created in April, 1775, only weeks before the start of the American Revolution, and became a township in 1788, the year after the drafting of the U.S. Constitution.

With a population of about 2,020 today it is located some 100 miles north of New York City and about 50 miles south of Albany, the state capital. Its dimensions are 8,000 acres or 12.5 square miles. Its western border is the shoreline of the Hudson River.

The Town of Clermont is a township of 11,000 acres containing farmland, country places and one hamlet, situated on the east bank of the Hudson River, immediately opposite the Catskill Mountains, at the extreme southwest corner of Columbia County.

Some towns are famous for their natural beauty and some as the birthplace of famous people, Clermont possesses both of these qualities. Its beauty of nature in its undulating hills and dales, its wooded areas near the Hudson River, and its position opposite the Catskill Mountains make it a spot of striking beauty. Most of the land is arable but there are some swamps and marshes forming small waste areas. There are small brooks and streams. The soil varies from a sandy loam to a mixture of clay and sand. The town is noted for its agricultural products and fruits - pears, apples, plums, berries, and grapes.

Home of the Livingston Mansion, now known as the Clermont State Historic Site, this site served as the home of Robert R. Livingston, Jr., one of the Committee of Five who drafted the Declaration of Independence.

Claverack (Dutch for clover reach or field) originally was approximately 60,000 acres in area and was the Lower Manor region of Rensellear. Claverack became a township on March 7th, 1788 with an area of 60,000 acres by virtue of an act of the New York State Legislature. It was reduced to its' present area of 30,224 acres of rolling farmlands by the foundation of the Town of Ghent.

Among the early settlers in the township were the Palatines, who had moved inland from the Livingston Manor and their names can still be found among the Township's current residents.

Recreation in Claverack takes advantage of the beautiful outdoors with fishing in the
the Claverack and the Agawamuck Creeks or hiking at the High Falls Conservation Area which features the highest falls in Columbia County.

Livingston received its name from the first lord of the manor, and is south from the center of the county, bordering on the Hudson from the town of Greenport south to Roeloff Jansen's Kill, and extending southeast along that stream to its southernmost bend, near Dutchess county line thence north along the towns of Galatin and Taghkanic to the town of Claverack on its northeast, being almost triangular in shape.

(view on the map)

The name Taghkanic originates from the Algonquin Indians and has several different interpretations, including "water enough", and "full of timber". There resides a rich history that dates back to pre-revolutionary times, when a 160,000 acre grant was given by the english king to Robert R. Livingston. The lands that Livingston acquired was called the Livingston Manor. The lands that today comprise the towns of Taghkanic and Copake were split off from the Livingston Manor in 1803, and the new town was was called Grainger. In 1824 another division split the town of Grainger into two towns, Copake to the east and Taghkanic to the West.

The name Taghkanic is now famous as a result of baskets made by locals. The Taghkanic Basket is a keepsake of yesteryear. Skillfully crafted, these baskets have withstood the test of time, by their unique design.

Recreation in the town can be found at the Lake Taghkanic State Park and the New Forge State Forest.
