New Paltz, Historic village in Hudson Valley, New York, US
The village spreads across 1.8 square miles along the Wallkill River, featuring stone houses, local shops, and educational institutions at the foot of Shawangunk Ridge.
French Huguenot settlers established New Paltz in 1678 after purchasing land from the Esopus tribe, naming it after their temporary refuge in the German Palatinate region.
Historic Huguenot Street preserves seven original stone houses and numerous artifacts from the 17th century, presenting the early Dutch and French colonial history.
The State University of New York campus, multiple dining establishments, and outdoor recreation areas make New Paltz a central point for education and activities.
The Duzine, a group of twelve partners who acquired the royal patent, governed the settlement through a distinct corporation system past the American Revolution.
