Poughkeepsie, County seat in Hudson River Valley, New York.
Located between New York City and Albany, Poughkeepsie extends along the Hudson River with its streets rising from water level to elevated neighborhoods.
The settlement began in 1686 when Robert Sanders and Myndert Van Den Bogaerdt purchased land from Native Americans, establishing a community near the Hudson River.
The Bardavon 1869 Opera House maintains a regular schedule of theater productions, musical performances, and film screenings throughout the year.
Metro-North Railroad and Amtrak provide regular train service at the Poughkeepsie station, connecting passengers to New York City and Albany.
The Walkway Over the Hudson, converted from a former railroad bridge, spans 1.28 miles across the river as the longest elevated pedestrian bridge worldwide.
