Kingston, County seat in Hudson Valley, New York, United States.
Kingston stands along the Hudson River, 91 miles north of New York City and 59 miles south of Albany, surrounded by the Catskill Mountains.
The city earned distinction as New York's first capital in 1777, until British forces burned the settlement following the Battles of Saratoga.
The Stockade District, Midtown Broadway Corridor, and Rondout-West Strand Historic District preserve numerous structures from different architectural periods.
Visitors can obtain information at City Hall on 420 Broadway, which maintains regular operating hours from 8:30 AM to 4:30 PM throughout most of the year.
The Delaware and Hudson Canal transformed Kingston into a major transportation center for coal and bluestone deliveries from Pennsylvania to New York City.
