It is atown steeped in history, culture, and natural beauty.

Dutchess was one of the original ten counties in New York formed in 1683.It was at this time when two New York City merchants named FrancisRombout and Gulian Verplanck bought 85,000 acres in the county from theWappinger Indians. This land was rich in beaver, had fertile plains and astream flowing into the Hudson River that provided food as well water-borne transportation. Dutch settlers named the stream Vis Kill, which means“streams full of fish” in Dutch, with the area surrounding the stream comingto be known as The Fishkills. The town of Fishkill was officially incorporatedin 1788.
