Kingston /ˈkɪŋstən/ is a city in and the county seat of Ulster County, New York, United States. It is 91 miles (146 km) north of New York City and 59 miles (95 km) south of Albany. It became New York's first capital in 1777, and was burned by the British on October 13, 1777, after the Battles of Saratoga. In the 19th century, the city became an important transport hub after the discovery of natural cement in the region, and had both railroad and canal connections. Passenger rail service has since ceased, and many of the older buildings are part of three historic districts, such as the Stockade District uptown, the Midtown Neighborhood Broadway Corridor, and the Rondout-West Strand Historic District downtown.

History

This would have left approximately 150 militiamen to defend the city against approximately 2,000 British regulars. Shortly after the Battle of Saratoga, the city was burned by British troops moving up the Hudson River from New York City, disembarking at the mouth of the Rondout Creek on the formation the Dutch had named 'Ponck Hockie'. Image:32SNOW1 12 20 08 5.jpg of the historic Rondout neighborhood still have historic architecture. Rondout’s central location as a shipping hub ended with the advent of railroads which ran through Rondout and Kingston but could transport their loads through the town without stopping. Kingston is the core city of the Ulster County, New York NY Metropolitan Statistical Area, which lies in the northernmost part of the New York metropolitan area York-Newark-Bridgeport NY-NJ-CT-PA Combined Statistical Area.

The City of Kingston was first called Esopus after a local Indian tribe, then Wiltwyck. This hub was later used to transport other goods, including bluestone.
