Cold Spring, Historic village in Putnam County, United States

Cold Spring extends along the eastern bank of the Hudson River, offering views of the United States Military Academy at West Point across the water.

The West Point Foundry, established in 1818, manufactured artillery pieces for the United States government and employed 1,400 workers during the Civil War period.

The Cold Spring Historic District contains numerous 19th-century buildings that reflect the architectural styles used to house industrial workers and business owners.

Metro-North Railroad provides regular train service between Cold Spring and Grand Central Terminal in New York City, with a journey time of about one hour.

The village sits at the deepest point of the Hudson River, where early Dutch settlers named the area after a spring that produced cold water year-round.
