Living in Kingston, NY

The history of Kingston began when it was built as the third settlement in the Dutch colony. Over time, the community had a prosperous farming industry, which led to issues with the British. However, by the 19th century the regional farming town turned to transportation for growth and was at the center of natural resources like cement, bricks, and bluestone. Before the turn of the century, Kingston joined with a neighboring town, Rondout, for economic development. During the early 20th century, the growth of their prosperous industries halted as railroads and highways gave way to communities that produced coal. In recent years, Kingston has found itself again at the heels of new industries by contributing to the manufacturing of solar-powered boats, handcrafted furniture, and multimedia.

Kingston Attractions and Special Events

Residents in Kingston rentals and homes often gather for events like Sinterklass Arrival Day and Uptown Holiday Open House. These events keep the community's heritage alive, as Sinterklass is an Old Dutch tradition. Each year, families come together for food, music, and shopping at both events. During the summer, the city hosts a farmers market, fitness events, and movies in the park.
