New Paltz, Historic settlement in Ulster County, New York.
The town extends across 34 square miles of land near the Wallkill River, with an elevation of 73 meters above sea level.
French Huguenot settlers established New Paltz in 1678 after purchasing the land from the Esopus tribe of the Lenape people.
The town maintains strong connections to its European heritage through preserved stone houses and traditional community gatherings throughout the year.
Residents access New York City via Interstate 87 or train services from nearby Poughkeepsie, located 11 miles from the town center.
The local government operated under the Duzine system, a corporation of twelve partners who managed the town's affairs until the New York legislature dissolved it.
