Population: 23,095

Located in Ulster County

In Kingston, the seat of Ulster County, the past and present live as harmonious neighbors. The most historic of the Hudson River communities, it rises to high ground above the river. The broad waters of the Hudson are its face; the rolling heights of the Catskill Mountains are its back. Long a refuge from the congestion and clatter of its megalopolitan neighbors, Kingston is a welcoming place for people, for business and for industry. Its homes are gracious and comfortable, including a great number of authentic Colonial restorations. The community is a careful custodian of its historic treasures. The Old Senate House, the first seat of government in New York State, still stands in perfect preservation in the city's Uptown section. Meanwhile people intersect in restoring old Dutch and English homesteads, take a special pride in their attractive residence. While serving as New York's capital, Kingston served as the birthplace of the State Constitution, Senate, Assembly and Supreme Court.
