The City of Kingston, NY

    Welcome to the City of Kingston, NY

    Kingston, dating to the arrival of the Dutch in 1652, is a vibrant city with rich history and architecture, was the state's first capital, and a thriving arts community. City Hall is in the heart of the community at 420 Broadway, and is open from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., except July & August (9 a.m. to 4 p.m.).  Come tour our historic City, with restaurants that are among the region's finest, and local shopping that promises unique finds.

    Historic Churches

    Kingston is home to many historic churches. The oldest church still standing is the First Reformed Protestant Dutch Church of Kingston which was organized in 1659. Referred to as The Old Dutch Church, it is located in Uptown Kingston. Many of the city's historic churches populate Wurts street (6 in one block) among them Hudson Valley Wedding Chapel is a recently restored church built in 1867 and now a chapel hosting weddings. Another church in the Rondout is located at 72 Spring Street. Trinity Evangelical Lutheran Church was founded in 1849. The original church building at the corner of Hunter Street and Ravine Street burned to the ground in the late 1850s. The current church on Spring Street was built in 1874.

    Kingston, NY

    Kingston 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.

    Kingston, NY

    The town of Rondout, New York, now a part of the city of Kingston, became an important freight hub for the transportation of coal from Honesdale, Pennsylvania to New York City through the Delaware and Hudson Canal. This hub was later used to transport other goods, including bluestone. Kingston shaped and shipped most of the bluestone made to create the sidewalks of New York City.

    Starting later this week, J Mullen will briefly leave the area of Hudson Street to focus on installing main and services on Rogers Street, in the vicinity of the Kingston Catholic School, due to the school being on spring break when there will be less impact to the school’s daily operation. After the main is installed on Rogers Street, a crew will then return to installing main on Hudson St and Spruce St, while a service replacement crew works on completing service swaps on Rogers St.

    Next week, starting on/around April 8 CSX will be working on three crossings for approximately 3-5 days. The following roads will be closed: Foxhall Avenue, Ten Broeck Avenue, and Smith Ave.

    Downs Street will be closed off from Broadway starting Thursday, March 25, for the installation of new sewer lines across the intersection, and is expected to be closed for 1-2 weeks. 

    The public parking lot will be accessible from Downs street during this intersection closure. Parking for Sea Deli, Masa Midtown and other nearby Broadway businesses will be available at the Downs Street municipal lot and will be accessible by foot.
