Town of Marbletown

Marbletown today encompasses 54.9 square miles which includes the villages of High Falls and Stone Ridge.  The Town is bordered by the Towns of Hurley, Olive, Rochester, New Paltz and Rosendale.  It was settled around 1669.  By 1672 there were fifty-three houses on the site, most of them built of logs.  The geography of the town is hilly upland, broken by valleys and streams.  The Esopus flows through the northern part, while the Rondout runs through the southeast corner with a beautiful water-fall at High Falls.  

General Washington actually did spend a night here, on his way to Hurley, and after the burning of Kingston in 1777, the courts were held here in the house of Johannis Tack, (at that time a tavern).  Marbletown’s lovely scenery includes dramatic mountain views, meandering streams, and working farmland.  The Town is rich in architectural heritage.  There are four nationally registered historic districts. Historic homes, churches, restaurants, farm stands, retail shops, alternative and traditional health care providers, a canal museum, a library, and a performing arts center can all be found in the hamlets of High Falls and Stone Ridge.  Marbletown is part of the Rondout Valley Central School district, and is home to Ulster County Community College, a two-year SUNY college providing quality undergraduate and continuing education on a state-of-the-art campus.  Today’s Marbletown citizens range from newly arrived weekenders to long time local residents.
