Kinderhook, Dutch colonial village in Columbia County, United States
The village spreads across 2.1 square miles of land with Kinderhook Creek forming its southeastern boundary at 77 meters elevation.
Dutch settlers established the first European settlement around 1640, naming it Kinderhoeck after observing Native American children playing in the area.
The Martin Van Buren National Historic Site, located one mile south of the village, preserves the retirement home of the eighth president of United States.
The village administration provides building permits, emergency services, and online payment systems for yearly budget contributions through its official website.
President Martin Van Buren, known locally as Old Kinderhook, grew up in a family tavern within the village and rests in the Reformed Church Cemetery.
